    Ran sfc and it said it cleaned some corrupted files, thanks. I believe I will try getting the older version of MR. Don't recall but that is possibly what I was running until this morning. Thank you!
  3. Overwhelmed - Macrium Reflect

    Sorry but I am kinda lost. Purchased Macrium ages ago and got a lifetime subscription. Today the program offered an update to 8.1.8853. I let it update and began backing up. Under the program was the indication that Windows wouldn't let the psmounterex.sys load. No none business phone numbers...

  6. Solved Won't shutdown

    Thank you kind Sir!! Followed your instructions and restarted. The computer now went to the Background Image and showed the shutting down message with revolving circle.

    Happy New... When I do a shutdown, the screen goes into windows shutting down for a second/s, then pops back to the login screen.

  9. Desktop starts showing active laptop battery usage

    It appears that the problem is Solved. Located the software from APS and got it installed. No longer seeing "battery status indicator" and set up the shutdown times correctly. All seems well. Many thanks indeed. Something about the forest and the trees.....
  10. Desktop starts showing active laptop battery usage

    Hello, That may be the problem as the new battery seems to have helped but not stopped the power loss. My APC UPS ES 550 does not seem to be supported anymore. Any ideas? I will have to do a dive into it .....! So far setting all the battery saving W11 suggestions and leaving the computer on...
  11. Desktop starts showing active laptop battery usage

  12. Desktop starts showing active laptop battery usage

    I did decide to pull the USB cable off and the Battery indicator disappeared, so it is monitoring the UPS battery level????? It has been so long since I have messed with the UPS that I have forgotten about it. Although I haven't been able to reconcile all of my system's symptoms.
  13. Desktop starts showing active laptop battery usage

    Thank you for the information!! Yes there is a cable (looks like a phone jack plug to a usb) attached to the computer. I have owned this UPS for decades. I do not keep my computer on when not in use, although the APC UPD ES 550 is continuously plugged in. When I turned the computer on this...

    It is OS Build 26100.4351. I've have had the computer for years and maybe I've done something incorrectly but it seems that the battery icon was always full and never functioning. Did I inadvertently click some option? Battery usage shows no usage in the past seven days although this morning the...
