the Comcast modem does work with Bridge off and turning Bridge ON kills the D-Link. I don’t know why it works this way, but I am writing this through the D-link.
It may be that in Bridge mode, only Ethernet Port 1 is active. That Is why I leave Bridge Mode Disabled. I need to use 2 routers connected to the Comcast Gateway.
If you do not use port 1 and switch to bridge mode, there will be no Internet connection to your router.

You seem to be relying on a statement from Netgear which is either flatly wrong or taken out of context and does not apply to the Comcast Xfinity Modem. This is a screen shot of my modem’s admin page which clearly shows Bridge Mode Disabled, multiple devices connected and WiFi Disabled.
My IP address is 66.30.2xx.xx (edited for privacy)
The admin address of the Xfinity Gateway is 10.0.0.1
My ASUS router sees an IP address of 10.0.0.142 from the Gateway
My Netgear router sees an IP address of 10.0.0.125 from the Gateway
My computer sees an IP address of 192.168.1.3 from the Netgear router
This is proof of Double NAT (Network Address Translation). I don’t know how to make it more plain so you will believe what I say.
I do not use bridge mode and I do use double NAT and it works flawlessly.
My computer gets speeds of 485 Mbps download and 12.06 Mbps upload.

I use PDF-XChange Editor by Tracker Software.
It has extensive editing capabilities but a full license is $46.50 (never expires).
Is it free to use?
More than 70% of the features in PDF-XChange Editor do not require a license to use. The remaining features, which are clearly identified, will place a ‘trial’ watermark on output if they are used without a license.You should also check out PDFill Free PDF Editor. I use this for my PDF Printer needs and some combining/splitting of PDF Files.

As Michael432 said (below) – All routers do NAT.
Both of my routers do NAT. They work flawlessly with this modem.

I have a Comcast/Xfinity modem/router with voice phone; it is:
Arris Modem – Model: TG1682G
I do not have Bridge Mode set, I have disabled the WiFi and my lights are blinking.
I use a Netgear WiFi router connected to the Modem and an ASUS WiFi router also connected to the Modem. This gives me 2 sub networks; one for the computers and one for Cell Phones and other devices. This is a Double NAT setup times two.
It has been working flawlessly for at least 4 years now, so the advice from Comcast on requiring Bridge mode to avoid Double NAT is not correct.

Paul T,
Why do you say NOT to use the portable version of KeePass?
I have been using the portable version for over 12 years and have never had a problem. I still backup the KeePass data file regularly without incident.

I am running Win 10 1909 and use WuMgr to hide updates. I too, DO NOT have any problems with the Windows Settings page displaying properly.
The Hide WU Settings in WuMgr is always unchecked.

I had a similar problem with network shares not showing in Windows explorer after doing a Feature Upgrade. My original post is here.
My problem was solved by un-installing and re-installing my 3rd party AV product (Kaspersky at one time and Bitdefender at another time).
I have never had a problem when using Windows Defender, so I have stopped spending money on any 3rd party AV.
