Default Outlets went out but no breaker is tripped

I have some outlets and a light switch that have stopped working in

None of the breakers are tripped.


All I can think of is to shut off and then back on one breaker at a
time to isolate which one controls the non-functioning outlets and
switch.


Any feedback appreciated.

Look behind a dresser for a GFCI outlet with a red light and tripped
button, even in another room or closet.


Looking for a GFCI is a good idea, but not all GFCI's have red lights.

This is the latest stupid idea from the stupid bitch regulatory organization.


Adding a GFCI is a code compliant method for allowing the installation
of 3-prong outlets downstream of the GFCI even if there is no ground.
This allowed use makes the regulatory organization a friendly
organization.
