Apologies for not being around recently.

Can anyone advise on what steps (and in what order) to take please ?

Thanks.

Sure. If it was a one time occurrence and it has not happened again, ignore it.

Apologies for my absence once again, although I return (I've been busy what with one worry and another).

The sharelink thing is confusing for me (being very much a novice). However, I can post screenshots (using CTRL, or ALT + PrintScrn).

I will attempt to work my way through the steps, and post results.

One thing to bear in mind is there may be a time-lag, depending on where you are in the world.

Sorry, but I'm doing my best.

Thanks for trying to assist though.

UK is most often 6 hours later than CT.

You'll fall back this Sunday Oct 25 making it 5 hours and we fall back Nov1 making it 6 hours again.

Okay.

They are manual copy and paste commands.

I just want to say that I have previously been oblivious to any BSODs (even I'd recognise them) this year. They would have been fairly obvious even to me ?

Tests still currently in progress. As I say, will report back as and when able to.

zbook · 2026-10-23T15:03:14-0400

The settings created above will reduce the likelihood of missed BSODs.

mrmatt · 2026-10-23T15:24:14-0400

Still processing ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?

Sfc/ scannow and restorehealth may take time to complete.
