The laptop was plugged in. No desktops in this house. There is an H-P laptop running Windows 10. It may or may not be able to make sense of the ext4 partition, but the is a much smaller NTFS partition that should be sufficient to test. In the interim, I happened to look at the system journal/log and the kernel was spitting out error messages that seemed linked to unplugging and plugging in the wireless mouse USB dongle. Eventually, the laptop locked up completely and I have to force a power down to reboot. I'll track down the messages and look for them on Bugzilla. If not found, I'll open a new bug. I'm now running the previous kernel: 5.3.18-150300.59.63-default Jeffrey
