   Not the greatest week, lol.
   
   Bought a Linksys E8450 recently and ran into a showstopping bug regarding wireless clients and communication on later OpenWrt 22.03 releases and even very recent snapshot versions. Flashed 22.03.0-rc1 and wireless communication and clients now work normally without the static ARP workaround. This took a week to troubleshoot, too.
   
   After all that, the Intel NUC's SSD's Windows partition really became corrupted. Luckily, I mirrored the entire disk a month prior. Actually, that backup is the most recent because it hadn't been used since last month; I was testing Kubuntu 22.10 in live mode on the NUC, then eventually went back to Windows 10. Ran a Windows update, then it wouldn't boot after a restart. 😮 Now, I'm restoring just the Windows partition to see what would happen.

     Restoring the Windows 10 partition was a success. No more odd system hangups and stuff seems to download from Windows Update normally. Now to see what happens after this. So odd. If this happens again (somehow), may as well use a Linux distro on it; I still have all the data for the Windows install.

     Okay, the system lives once again. Yeah, I freaked out because there is years of stuff not on the main server yet from that Windows install. Thinking the cumulative Windows update was actually installing despite the WinApp saying Downloading 100% after other updates that require reboot have installed (and you could restart the system in the process). Pressing Restart the System does interrupt this install process after confirmation...
