If it's definitely not there, try the Metric change.

Quote from: Petlew The unrecognised one is noted as "managed" my is "unmanaged"
I wonder if part of the problem is the wireless adapter has ended up stuck in ad-hoc mode and needs setting back to "infrastructure" or "managed" mode via its device properties in Device Manager.

I know its a very drastic answer but, the "faulty" PC is fairly new, with very little software loaded on it, and no data as such. It was purchased as a replacement for the ageing laptop (I'm using now) I just from time to time make adjustments to essentials; browser, email so that when the day comes that the old one expires I can seamlessly change over to the new one, important data is backed up to external devices ready to be loaded when required. It is the reason I don't answer to your suggestions particularly quickly.
The accidental unscheduled shut-down occurred during the downloading or initialising of updates, I don't know exactly when I wasn't in the room at the time. (this actually prompted a thread in chit-chat on a similar theme)
So, I am toying with the idea of re-formatting the C drive and re-installing Windows and starting again from scratch. At this stage of the PC's life I will lose very little except time.
Your thoughts on this drastic approach?
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

I don't understand why you are so reluctant to try some of our much less complicated suggestions.

@nozzer I have PM'd a print form the CMD route print.
I changed the metric value to 1 as suggested
All the other suggestion proved negative, including the Device Manager, the properties doesn't show managed or unmanaged so has no option to change it.
There is no entry for Bonjour on the faulty PC There are no (known) Apple products on it, not even Quicktime. A Start/Search/Apple returned zero.
No the machine has never used McAfee.
I have not yet tried uninstalling the Network drivers (Mav)

I'm grateful to all those who have contributed to the problem.
