Yes; my answers were delayed because I needed to test a new cable I got and test all the USB ports on my laptop. I also tried all cables on a different, older Dell laptop with the same result. No error message on the older laptop, just no drive recognized.

Alternatively, I don't know how to fix the lack of "charging by USB" notification on the shade pull-down.

So I got a new cable, and I've tried this process and each of my usb cables on each of my usb ports on my Thinkpad. The error message, when I get one, comes from the lower right hand corner as a slide-in and says "the last USB device you connected malfunctioned and Windows cannot recognize it"...

Well! The last update stopped the stoppages! I guess all the crusty feedback I gave them (and probably a lot of other people gave them, too) moved things along. Hopefully I won't jinx myself! Thanks for everyone's input!!

BDiddy, I had another Google update this morning, so I'm going to see if that fixes things; if not, I'll try the safe mode process. Dieselhazza, I don't even know what theming apps are (I might if I were 30 years younger ;-)), so I don't think so. Thanks for the question, though. I saw that in...

B Diddy, I went into the Google app and deleted the data as you instructed. Still getting Google has stopped; in fact, it just popped up as I finished half of that sentence. I did not reboot after the data was deleted, however. Other thoughts? I sure appreciate your help.

Response to B. Diddy re: Pixel 2 XL Google stopping - B. Diddy, yes, I did clear the app data for the Google app (if we're talking about the cache). If there is other data that should be cleared, where would I go for that? While I was at it, I cleared all the other app caches, too.
