If you can further enlighten me (or point me toward an article on the subject) I would greatly appreciate it. How is that possible, since I’ve reformatted my boot drive multiple times since then? I may need to more fully educate myself on all aspects of these things I’ve always thought they were used for the immediate backup and then just kind of disappeared. Update: I ran some of these commands on my computer as sort of a “tutorial” to familiarize myself with it and discovered that I had shadow copies dating back to 2017. The A/V programs which are out today, especially when used in concert with one-another, are incredibly better than they used to be, ‘way back when. As I said, I haven’t had to do any malware remediation in a long time. That could well be the ultimate solution but I’m inclined to try some other suggestions as well, just to educate myself on what works the best. Not trying to be argumentative, but I’ve truly never run into this situation before… Also I’m not sure that his suggestion will work, so should I have done so without knowing whether it actually helped or not (aka was the “answer”)? But just to clarify, if I have a question, can I only post it on 1 site, be it, or whatever? That would seem to be a little limiting if that’s the case. I posted on the Microsoft site as kind of an afterthought after I posted here and the guy over there only just replied to my post a short while ago, so I really hadn’t had time to link back to it, even if I’d known the rules (which I didn’t) I’m just lucky I saw it before I called it quits for the night. I figured that different sites give different and unique answers. Sorry, I wasn’t aware of that as much as I’ve used various forums over the years I don’t think I even knew what “cross-posting” was in that respect, unless you were duplicating your posts / questions on the same general site, such as in different forums on.
