Hoping somebody hears our cries sooner than later

      But wait!  It gets worse!

       

      As of today, my Odyssey is displaying everything INVERTED.  Completely upside down from the start.

      I have been unable to get off the Windows Insider Program on this computer for seven weeks.  Unreal.
