1461382 2019-06-09 11:32:00 Hi... Since I installed that Driver Max and had all the 476 infections I mentioned in an earlier post my computer has gone to the dogs. I just tried System Restore twice, first time back to the instal of Driver Max and as that failed I tied the restore point the day before and that failed. I am having troulble with opening .jpg and .png files in Photo app, they will not open. Also I tried to instal 2 Media Creation programs and was informed that W10v1903 will not allow them. They were DVDFAB 9 Pro and Ashampoo Burning Studio. DVDFAB 9 was not permitted and Ashampoo stated the files I wanted to load were invalid. Never had any of this in W7 Pro.
Anyway, cut a long story short, as said since the Driver Max debacle and getting rid of all the crap from computer its still a dog. Games I had installed will not open and play (Sniper Elite 4) Edge browser is showing webpages too large and I cannot get it back to where it was before the Driver Max mayhem.
When I installed W10v1903 Pro x64 and it was as sweet as a nut I created a backup of it using Aoemi Backerupper and I am seriously considering wiping out what I have now and using the back up to get back to when W10 was running smooth.
Here are a couple of pics showing the Restore fails
With that I am going to use this I have for now and use the backup tomorrow to hopefully get back some sanity.
cheers

And it does exactly that. Restores your system, including all crap, malware and bloat it had in it.

Far better to make an image of your O/S (clean, fresh) and keep it for emergencies.
Keep data on a separate partition to make life easier and do regular backups of that.

piroska, I showed the restore points, the first attempt was to get it back to before I installed and used the Driver Max which is where the infections came from. The computer was clean before that.
I got rid of the 476 infections.
Anyway its restored to a backup when it was upgraded to v1903 and is crap-free now.
