I had to go to the mall earlier to use the wi-fi they provide there, why is a rather long story. Their wi-fi crapped out while I was trying to connect so I was in Word, working on what I could remember of what we were supposed to do, when my cursor suddenly stopped working. I'm used to this happening when there's too much happening on my laptop at once, I usually give it a minute and it goes away. It didn't, so I used the keyboard to bring up Task Manager, looked it over, saw nothing unusual, tried to move the cursor again, then realized it could click but not move. Since I know that a reboot fixes 90% of computer issues, I tried it, and I could move my cursor again. However, as I tried to bring my assignment back up, the screen got vertical lines all over it then went black. After a miniature heart attack I shut it down, thinking my laptop had been connected to the mall wi-fi just long enough to get a virus, and we went home.
When I got home, my laptop (whose screen was working again) automatically connected to the wi-fi like it always does, then started some updates. At about 30% it said there was an error and was undoing the changes, then it restarted, finished the updates, and now it's working fine again. I ran a virus scan just in case and came up with nothing, so I'm thinking it had to do with the updates even though I wasn't connected to the wi-fi at the mall when it started being weird. Anyone have any idea why it might have done that?
