Default What the Heck is Going On?

I'm having a lack of sound on my computer and in trying to find the cause, I stumbled up the Networks attached to my computer. Below is a screen shot which shows the "entities" on my network. Does that mean that NSA and DEA are watching my computer?

No! Your phone is just telling you what is out there within range. Your phone's security system and settings should prevent you from connecting .

I think you have neighbors with a pretty good sense of humor. You should rename your network “Sinaloa Cartel,” or “KGB-USA.”

Good grief. Yeah, this is a virus released by the government to take totalitarian control of us all.
Why didn’t I see that?
Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.
Do whatever floats your boats, just do it away from me for a while, please.

Under the Wi-Fi settings on my tablet it shows a descending (by proximity) list of active users showing mostly my neighbors.

Numbers 2 and 3 are: FBI surveillance van #2 and FBI surveillance van #3.

I'll bet I know which neighbors they are.

To quote Ray Parker Jr: "there's something strange in the neighborhood" .

My wife had the same problem last week after a Microsoft update. It took a couple of reboots before the problem cleared up. Same thing happened again a couple of days ago after another update and rebooting took care of that too.

Those are not users on your network, they are other people's WiFi systems.

Our wifi is Virus Lock Box

Noooo... Don't give out false hope. Those are Putin backed, Cuban trained, Venezuelan spies that are spreading the corona virus using Chinese made 5G wireless. Everybody knows that.

A few times in the last couple years when Windows 10 has updated things I have lost my sound. It has always been a new version of the Windows sound driver being installed over the Realtek drivers that came with the computer. I go to Device Manager, enter Sound Video and Game Controllers and have it roll the sound driver back to the previous version. That takes care of it for me.

Considering how your mind works, I imagine she came down pretty hard on you in class.

You may want to check your Bluetooth. You may have some headphones/earbuds that are attached that you forgot about...ask me how I know this.
