no restore no restore point available. I missed the date by one day.

-- Wits End! I've tried to rename the drive from File Explorer : Tells me I need to "Provide Admin Permission". Then when I click to provide, it tells me I "don't have sufficient rights". -- On a format, the error says "You don't have sufficient rights". -- Windows Defender WILL scan it...

What "THREAD TAB" are you talking about? I can follow along for the most part and I get your logic, but if you are using analogies or slang, I'm lost.. I hate giving up.. See attached.. and *THANKS*

You finally stumped me. I don't see "HP Protect Security manager" in the log at all. I am getting in over my head for these internal fixes. Furthermore, if I double click any of the log entries, I see 3 columns called EVENT, PROCESS, STACK: EVENT shows the actual event PROCESS (in...

Some very cool stuff. Man, I'm gonna buy you a beer for all the work .. Anyway .. Results attached (zipfile <1Mb. Unzips to 4.7Mb. Also see .png file attached.

whoami tells me I am STEVE from a cmd prompt, (i renamed the drive "X" in an earlier attempt), I can NOT get to it ... "Access is denied." Interesting! I also inserted a CD disk into the "E" drive and I can access that just fine... So somehow, "X" has been disabled or denied from...

It's definitely a permissions error. See attached. I've tried several of the suggestions submitted. NTFS, FAT32, FAT. Thanks so far, including the last one which must have been for Windows 8. I am at wit's end and hate getting stumped. I don't want to reset to factory state, but I will...

Mike, I changed drive letter to X ... did not make a difference. Jerry, I have 5 different flash drives - all work on another laptop but I still cannot access ANY of them on the new one. I was able to, last week. I made NO changes up tho the point when it failed, this morning. I have a...

Additionally, I even went into Device Manager and deleted everything under 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' and rebooted to let Windows rebuild the port configs. They all reappeared, all ports work, but accessing any of the flash drives still proves fruitless.

Accessing local - right in front of me, its that local... The pic called 'error1' is what pops up when i click the F: drive from File Explorer. The pic caller 'error2' is what I get when I click the 'continue' button shown in 'error1'. The RIGHT side of 'error3' is the next step and the...
