So confused . . .

anthimeriaI've been having computer troubles. It's one of the reasons I haven't been posting much the last few months. I finally got everything off my laptop and backed up on a friend's machine, and I've been using the work laptop for writing, and then I had this afternoon free and decided to devote it to tech support, because you know with a major problem you're going to spend hours on the phone. I booted up the laptop so I could give an accurate report of the symptoms, see if there was a bug number or self-diagnostic that would work, and . . .
. . . it booted up fine. Except for everything being five months out of date, everything's running like clockwork.
I am SO CONFUSED.
It was still doing the "freezing ten seconds after start up" thing a month ago, when I wrestled with it for hours to get everything copied one 4GB memory key at a time and saved elsewhere. I haven't touched it since. It hasn't even been turned on. And suddenly . . . everything works fine?
I just wish I had an explanation so I could keep it from happening again.
Also, it has a bigger keyboard than my work laptop. Readjusting to typing on this computer is going to be weird.
