Is it normal for two computers, both connected by cable to the same
router, and both showing the same wired-connection icon in the systray,
to have different IPv4 and Link-local IPv6 addresses?
Is it normal for two computers, one win10 home and one pro to display ipconfig results differently?
Home starts with a duplicate copy of this, which also appears further
down. For Pro, it only appears further down (it would take extra time
to check but it's possible one cmd window has administrative priveleges
and the other doesn't. Could that make a difference?:
"Unknown adapter Local Area Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : "
Is it normal for the Home computer to have, without Link-local:
IPv6 Address fd42:f4ce:1c43:aa2e:8201:6ef2:c89b:d14b
But the Pro computer has no IPv6 address (except with Link-local)?
Is it normal for the Home computer to have 2 Temporary addresses as
follows:
Temporary IPv6 Address . . : fd42:f4ce:1c43:aa2e:801d:c6a1:6c60:717
Temporary IPv6 Address.. . : fd42:f4ce:1c43:aa2e:a460:b8d3:41ef:42b2
But the Pro computer has NO temporary addresses?
Is it normal for the win10 Home *laptop" connected by cable to lose the internet connection when it sleeps and even just when the screen goes
black, and take up to a minute to regain it, but the win10 Pro *desktop* desktop takes only 1 or 2 seconds to regain its internet connection, as
shown by the systray icon? Could this be related to the temporary
addresses referred to just above?
And related, I posted a while ago about how my laptop didn't go to sleep
when I clicked on Windows-icon, then clicked within the Shut Down list
on Sleep. As soon as I posted it started working correctly! By which I
mean it can't be awakened by the external mouse and the system status
light switches from blue to slowly blinking red or orange. But after 2
weeks it stopped doing that, went back to not working correctly, and the light always remains blue and it awakens merely by moving the mouse.
On the other hand, if it times out and goes to sleep, that is real
sleep. But clicking on Windows/Sleep does not make it sleep!!
That is the laptop running Home. The desktop running Pro does go to
sleep when I click on Windows/Sleep. How do I fix the laptop?
I keep hearing the theme music from "rod serling twilight zone"...
Did one of the machines connect itself to an open Wifi ?

rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

If you run that from an Administrator window, it could throw an error,
which might be about as much info as you would get from event viewer.
It could be that the machine is Modern Standby.
