Resolved.... I think, by using WDisplay.INI from Data Back up

Oh good, Graham, the latest WD versions force it to auto backup after midnight each day as a default setting into the Backup folder.  It was voluntary before.  Also there is a .reg file for the other WD settings as well - double click the file and it re-inserts the details into the Registry for weatherdftp.reg or something.

Have time and date correct.
If I restart PC the History Data hangs there but WD is receiving data
If I exit WD and start from Icon and not restart PC all is OK
