Forever to Wake Up

[Malnutrition]

No worries, post 149 from Saturday we created a restore point.

From that log.
SystemRestore: On => completed
Restore point was successfully created.

So you can restore to then, easily.
So long as you can recover it you will now be free of onedrive.
You mentioned. In post 32 that you could live without onedrive so I assumed you were ok and understood what removing it would entail.
Also post 128
So I assumed you were wanting to rid the machine of it…

Best step would be to add Safemode to Right Click Menu
Right click empty space on desktop.
Boot to safe mode.
Trouble shoot
Advanced system options
System restore.

Yes, I think it would be good if we can remove all the content from OneDrive/CPM/New Folder and promote it to the parent folder. I bought the computer right before that internship and the CPM tech seems to have done something permanent to my computer in connecting it to their system.

I’ll work on the restore tomorrow morning or during the day.

I made the batch file but there is not an option to run as admin.
The location address of the .bat file in Properties suggests that OneDrive may not have been deleted.

Also, you seem to have suggested multiple options for restoring the files. I’m assuming that the directions in post 182 are your the most recommended, yes?

[Difficult_Man]

Looking at post 149 it is not clear what to do. Do I run FRST and the Fix log again? Will this restore the files to the restore point? Where do I paste the two lines of code in the quotation box?

Download it from here, unzip to desktop.
Right click run as admin.
Right click empty space on desktop.
Boot to safe mode.
Trouble shoot
Advanced system options
System restore.

I just noticed this…

Delete what you have on the desktop the boot to safe mode.

I followed the directions above twice but didn’t proceed because of two concerns:

1. Windows Alert: [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]System Restore does not affect any of your documents, pictures, or other personal data. Recently installed programs or drivers might be uninstalled.
   [/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]
Does this mean that it won’t restore the missing files?

1. The system restore point listed is [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]after the operation that erased everything:

Let me know how to proceed.[/color][/color]

Use the restore point from 1-15 go from there.

[Difficult_Man]

About 4hrs to restore. Nothing looks different.
No Documents folder, no docs anywhere (except in Downloads, Apps & Programs).

I am able to retrieve some files from OneDrive online. It is very inconsistent.

[Malnutrition]

I’m not sure what else can be done here. Get what you can from one drive online.

[Difficult_Man]

OneDrive doesn’t have everything. It seems to be inconsistent in what it backed up. There are many financial, work and graduate school school files that were erased, as well as years of pictures and videos.

We used over a dozen apps and scans that created logs. I noticed several made restore points. Can we use an earlier one to see if we get different results?

[Difficult_Man]

Two more things:

1. Windows wants to update upon a restart. Should I go along with that, or would that interfere somehow with a future attempt to Restore?
2. Zoom again is unable to access the microphone and camera and I am unable to grant access to them in Settings.

[Malnutrition]

Yes try an earlier restore point.Also everything search engine.

What folder was actually deleted. You only deleted one drive. Only the onedrive folder should have been affected, which you have access to to download.

According to post 184 onedrive isn’t even gone.

Perhaps just the cpm folder. Search cpm in everything search.

I remember reading “restore point created” in the various logs, but I don’t remember which ones. Do you? Otherwise, I’ll have to go through all the posts and look at the logs I posted.
