    I created and ran the .bat file and got this in the black window:

    NuGet provider is required to continue
    PowerShellGet requires NuGet provider version ‘2.8.5.201’ or newer to interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet
    provider must be available in ‘C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies’ or ‘C:\Users\Bruce
    Kleinberg\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\Provider Assemblies’. You can also install the NuGet provider by running
    ‘Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force’. Do you want PowerShellGet to install and import
    the NuGet provider now?

    I thought I’d check before responding…

    Also, I used Kill this morning when I had trouble closing Zoom. When I reopened Zoom the microphone and camera were turned of and inaccessible. It gave me a link to the settings but the actionable buttons were greyed out. I restarted the computer and Zoom and the microphone and camera are still turned off.

    As far as the Kill logs, I’ve run it maybe four times. I assumed it over-writes the log each time, but what I saw dates from a week ago. I hope it’s helpful.

      Tried to run Persistance.bat. Here’s what I got in red:

      Out-File : Cannot validate argument on parameter ‘Encoding’. The argument
      “Kleinberg\OneDrive\Desktop\Persistence_Sniper_Res ult.txt” does not belong to the set
      “unknown,string,unicode,bigendianunicode,utf8,utf7 ,utf32,ascii,default,oem” specified by the ValidateSet attribute.
      Supply an argument that is in the set and then try the command again.

          Kill em is only temp it [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]does not make any permanent changes what so ever, it only closes processes.
          So using KillemAll to close processes is the same as you clicking to close, you just do not have to do it manually.
          So whatever is going on with Zoom is it’s own issue. Remove with GeekUninstaller and reinstall it.
          Kill em all will also not create a log with the batch file you would have to run it directly.
          Here is the new Run Persistance that will deal with encoding issues.[/COLOR]

            As far as the microphone and such being disabled.
            Code:
            @echo off
            powershell -Command "Get-AppXPackage -Name *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | Reset-AppXPackage"
            reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\microphone" /v "Value" /t REG_SZ /d "Allow" /f
            reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\microphone" /v "Value" /t REG_SZ /d "Allow" /f
            reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\webcam" /v "Value" /t REG_SZ /d "Allow" /f
            reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\webcam" /v "Value" /t REG_SZ /d "Allow" /f
            reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Privacy" /v "LetAppsAccessMicrophone" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
            reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Privacy" /v "LetAppsAccessCamera" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
            pause

              Ran FRST scan. A Notepad file of Scan Log or Resutls opened up. Because it was blank I closed it. Then the Fix log opened up and it was populated. I thought I might have closed the log prematurely, before it populated so I ran the scan again (after the fix). So, here is that log, for what it’s worth.

              Ran Persistance but not much seems to have happened. The Persistance Sniper Result is an empty file.

              Will uninstall/reinstall Zoom while I’m waiting for your response.

                  Batch file says it completed successfully, however no change in microphone & camera settings.
                  Reinstall?

                    That was due to encoding. You will need to run this one. https://pchelpforum.net/attachments/...nce-zip.15105/

                    You need to reboot.

                        Nothing wrong there in that log.

                        As far as your camera mic issues.
                        Code:

                        :: Set all App Privacy settings to user control (0x1)

                          That code really worked. I hadn’t even rebooted yet! Great job!

                              Killemall had nothing to do with the apps not being allowed to use mic and camera. that was something you did. No issue now, that’s resolved. Moving on…




                              When this loads, click uninstall one drive.
                              Code:
                              @echo off
                              powershell -Command "iwr -useb https://git.io/debloat|iex"
                              exit





                              Autoruns Log.

                              Download Autoruns and Autorunsc Unzip it to your desktop and then double click autoruns.exe
                              After the scan is finished then click on File>>>>>>>>>>>Save
                              The default name will be autoruns.arn make sure to save it as Autoruns.txt under the file type option.
                              in other words make sure it is a .txt file instead of .arn Attach the text in your next reply.

                                I ran Autoruns64 instead of Autoruns. I wasn’t able to Save which was greyed out. I used File>Compare to get something to export. Hope this is it.
