    Upgrading RAM w/Windows 10

    I have been working on a waking from hibernation problem in another thread. The problem is largely solved but it is obvious I need more RAM (I have 6GB). What type of RAM do I need for an HP Pavillion x360 m3-uloldx running Win10 and 3-5 open programs? If I can upgrade & install for less than...

    Done. Logged into Zoom and joined a nonexistent meeting. Both controls were available. Will try again Thurs AM, but it looks fixed, so far. What was Shadow Explorer supposed to do?

    Just double-checked. Disable mic and camera are set to OFF. I'm assuming that not turning ON a disable command would allow the camera & mic to work as normal. Please see attached.

    The settings are all on, they were never disabled (at least in that program).

    Solved Forever to Wake Up

    OK, sorry for the long delay, can't explain here. I downloaded Shadow Explorer and, since you didn't specify, "ran" it as a program (not as Administrator). It produced the attached list and nothing more. Run as admin? Running the previous codes had no effect on the Zoom camera/microphone...

    I ran the codes from post 156 and 162 (above) and rebooted; camera and mic are still disconnected. Something is controlling the settings because they are greyed out and can't be adjusted.

    I found the Right Click to Safe Mode .bat and restored it, rebooted to Safe Mode and pursued the restore. The list of other restore points contained only one other point, which was after the restore, so, they're all wiped out.

    Solved Forever to Wake Up

    It seems we had installed something that enabled me to simply right-click and reboot into Safe Mode. I don't see any way to go into Safe mode now. I have manually backed up many things to Google Drive, but they are mostly related to my previous job. My iPhone pictures are all backed up to...

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    Solved Forever to Wake Up

    I followed the directions above twice but didn't proceed because of two concerns: 1. Windows Alert: System Restore does not affect any of your documents, pictures, or other personal data. Recently installed programs or drivers might be uninstalled. Does this mean that it won't restore the...

    Solved Forever to Wake Up

    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?

    Solved Forever to Wake Up

    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...

    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...

    C:\Users\Bruce Kleinberg\OneDrive\CPM\New Folder\..... Did deleting OneDrive delete everything in it?

    I ran as PCHF as administrator again and pressed 5 which said Remove OneDrive. It went to work and I stepped out for a few minutes. When I returned, there was a full-screen white window. I was able to toggle to other programs (ctrl+Tab). Other programs & Chrome worked but the Autoruns was gone...
