[AccessD] Further to keyboard problem

System restore is certainly not the end all of solutions but it is something
I can attempt to use on small business/home systems when trouble arises.
50/50 results (if its turned on). Good backups are the solution :-)

Thanks for the pointer about how/where it stores its sets.

Yep Win-10 is a source of many system changes - Today ( post the latest
update) I got a message that "An app default was reset"
as the original app would not handle the association.

Well I found that IRFANVIEW is no longer handling .gif files 

Well - when I checked, it seems to have no problem with the files.

Re system restore - etc. 
Note
File History is limited in the length of filenames that it can handle, and
when it has not decided to just stop - it puts the backup copies it does
create into an unprotected folder - Oh! yes - and it is quite happy to
'save' sets of outlook files while outlook is updating them! - so move a
folder to archive and you may find the archive save was done before the move
completed, and the source .pst was saved after the folder had been 'removed'

Considering the system restore facility - I note that every so-often my
system response goes to pitifully annoyingly slow as it reads through the
entire OS drive -to update the SINGLE image of the system it maintains.

I use Paragon to create an approximately monthly backup of the partition -
and then weekly/daily backups of things like email and wot I type-in myself.

Regards, and thanks for the detail

Oddly enough, the Win10 problems I've had to deal with were mostly a few
months after the upgrade. Haven't had any after a clean install. AND make
sure it doesn't disable your System Restore! It does this based on some
algorithm in relation to size of storage space but it does not inform you of
"its" decision to do so.

It was a new machine with W8 immediately upgraded to 10. Been using it for a
few months though.
