The issue was with any OS running on any Raspberry Pi. As it was a server error, I am thinking it may have been either my ISP or my router.
After playing in Windows 10 on an x86 based useless computer, it did its update 1809 (it had been a while since I had booted that machine), and lost sound, network, the secondary drive (D: drive) that I install all of my software on, and one of its display drivers. It would not recover from its losses.
In attempting to check the network with the Windows 10 machine I reset the router (to no avail). Now I am typing this on Raspbian running on a Raspberry Pi 3B+.
Do not know if it is the result of my ISP's DNS miss-routing for a short time, and the cached copies in my router remembering the incorrect routing for a bit longer. Or possibly just a corrupt cached DNS entry in my router. Also not sure how Windows 10 got around the error.
Though now everything works. And I have one more reason to avoid x86 boxes. For n*x OS's I have ARM based computers, for RISC OS ARM is the only option, for play OS's ARM is a lot easier to deal with than x86. Only systems to run on x86 are DOS, Windows, NT (like windows 10), OS/2, and MenuetOS/KolibriOS none of which I have any real use for.
I am thankful that everything is working correctly now.
Whatever the problem was is solved now, thanks to Windows NT 10 losing its mind on me.
