Well now I feel like an ass - this is what I'd tell my parents.
And yeah, that fixed it. I'm tempted to delete this whole embarrassing post, but I will leave it for the edification of others and to memorialize my shame.
Don't be embarrassed, I work with tech for a living and am still regularly impressed with what a restart can fix. It can be easy to overlook though.
You don't understand the depths of my shame.
I was in OS support for 5 years. I supported DOS 5.
I work with software Dev teams all day long, including designing highly available services.
And I do after hours tech support for elders (my folks) and house mates (my fam).
If anybody knows to reboot...
Nah, I've got 15+ years of experience in IT and still overlook a good old reboot now and then.
Don't worry about it, we're all here to learn, don't feel ashamed because you are now a wiser person!
Rebooting is a legit IT solution though. I also asked why we do that almost all the time when we have Bluetooth problems after upgrading a Linux kernel and from the answers it turns out it's not really that "dumb", electronics are just that weird.
