Thanks for that explanation, it does help me understand a little better what is going on in the system software. It's not how I would do it, but when dealing with Personal Computers and all the...

It kinds of sounds like what I am hearing is that Windows assigns a unique ID (not drive letter) in the system volume file on USB along with label name- but not a drive letter. Then when drive is...

The drive letter assignments you make on one computer do not affect other computers. They are Windows settings not device settings.

Sounds like you are saying the Windows 10 system in computer A,...

This still happens, even when I use a batch file I created to backup certain folders I want to keep in a bank vault. I changed them to J:

Sometimes they stay J, sometimes goes to E. Even will...

When I start Turbotax, it ask if I want to check for update. I say sure go ahead and check. You can bypass, but good to keep current. Anyway, it says there is an update, but then I get the yellow...

Well found the work around for the event id 131, then another new event code showed up. Event ID 264 Defrag error, shows up in a group of three errors.

Will this event id 131 Device Setup Manager Metadata staging failed ever get fixed by MS? Or should I ignore with the fix I changed not to check device drivers? Seems like MS just needs to fix...

I did get some of those 200 errors in warnings.

Yes I did get some of those 200 errors in warnings, but not after my litle fix or when not connected to internet.

I don't think it is only KB5032278 causing the event id 131 Device Setup Manager Metadata staging failed. I haven't updated since mid October and did KB 890830, KB5032339, KB5032189 and KB4023057...

Thanks for your reply.

Are you saying only one USB thumb drive can be assigned F:, even when they are never used at the same time? I have had these 7 all assigned F: and rotated for a batch file...

I have 7 USB thumb drives that are all set as f drives. I rotate them around for backing up. They are a mix of USB 2 and USB 3.0. Have used them with this batch file I created for years and no...

I don't find any Delta Restore Option? I do have version 8.0.6392, look all around didn't see that option for restoring image. I did look up VSS and spent about 5 minutes trying to figure it out. ...

I guess it is clear I do not understand the VSS logic. I thought it was like when I worked in the mainframe environment (retired back in 2004 after almost 40 years) that all the data was backed up...

I have been using Reflect now for 3 years as Acronis is just too bloated. I still also use Acronis 2016 some.
Actually felt guilty and bought copy of Reflect and don't even use any functions that...

There are a couple but at different times. MicrosoftEdgeupdatetaskmachineUA 17:28 every day, repeat every 1 hour for a duration of 1 day, GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA at 19:13 every day, repeat every 1...

If it is old and brittle I would be concerned that trying to copy multiple times could tear the paper. Perhaps going to a copy center where they could do copy all in one shot would be best?
