I agree that wifi probably won't re-enable itself, but I usually connect to internet by cable as I find it much more stable. That aside, the gray check mark and the crashing instead of main menu are both gone if I do not log in to The Sims 3, so no need for disabling internet on top of that.
Cleaning the folder doesn't make any difference, the only thing that works is not logging in. As for One Drive, I don't have it installed (I always remove it) so I am 100% sure that folder isn't in there, it is in my documents in the Electronic Arts folder. I don't know of any Keychain related function in Windows that I use, and if offered I always decline saving passwords in preference of typing.
Currently it is no longer possible to clear Internet Explorer data as Microsoft has practically removed IE from being accessible, even if you find it in your starting menu it will simply open Edge instead. And clearing out Edge (both browsing data and settings since I don't use it anyway) doesn't make a difference either.
However, when I logged out it stayed logged out, so there's that! Now I am just wondering what happened to being logged in that worked reasonably one day (except sometimes giving gray check marks) and turned into crashes the next day, without anything in between! Is there any solution other then permanently not logging in as a workaround? I am afraid there isn't but maybe you know something I can still try? Thank you very much!
