Ok, I think I got it. Sorry for being a bit of a hassle...

I have edited the hosts file; I figured it was simpler and less annoying than using a website blocker. If for any reason I need to remove those entries, I will.

I have performed the checks with the HDTune program, and will get to the other two tomorrow as just the first thing took all day.

My Microsoft Photos App also stopped working yesterday. I tried several things including updating, resetting, repairing, and registering (?) it. This didn't work, so I just uninstalled it and replaced it with IrfanView. It's something I've been wanting to do, so no big loss, but the fact that it happened at all seems concerning. I've included a screenshot of the error I got whenever I tried to open it. Windows Store and other apps still work fine.

It might be related to the hard drive, but before drawing conclusions let's first see the other logs.

Snapdragoon · 19 Jul 2018

Alright. Whew. These tests take a while.

axe0 · 20 Jul 2018

Please test the system and let me know how it goes

Code:

1 unindexed files scanned.                                          1 unindexed files recovered to original directory.

I wasn't quite sure what you meant by testing the system, but I did an sfc scan? Here's the results: Attachment 196576

I think @axe0 meant that he had noticed a file had been restored and wanted you to use your system as you normally would to see if the problem has been resolved.

Snapdragoon · 21 Jul 2018

Oh...ok haha. That makes sense. An sfc scan doesn't hurt anyways, at least.

So far I haven't been having any more problems.
