3. My computer did an odd reboot this morning

Oct 5

When I powered up, I got a bluescreen, momentarily, that looked different from MS. The message said "Your device ran into an error and must be restarted. We are collecting data" and showed a frowny face and a QR code.

When I finally go back on, it does look like there was a Windows upgrade, but the reboot page looked different. My Windows Defender said everything was OK.

I used to have MWB, but don't see it now.

Do I need to worry?

Thanks!
