Sorry but that just isn't accurate. Using Windows (or even a live Windows build using re-direction), you can also use reg.exe.

I'm old... and apparently now blind.
Senility sucks. :-)
Now you've updated the firmware, perhaps consider marking the thread as 'Closed'?
I would check that your 'virtual music app' doesn't need online access. Perhaps use Nir Sofer's CurrPorts?
Download the correct bitness version (usually 64-bit) of CurrPorts, unblock, expand and...
IMO it's not that simple.
Microsoft is actively releasing an update to Secure Boot keys at this moment... and there are increasing reports of issues. Whilst many are just event log errors, there...
Were you aware that you're replying to a post that's very nearly 4-yrs-old?

That looks exactly like how my Dell Latitude E7450 looked before I changed the boot options. Try this:
1. Keep pressing F12 as your laptop boots... you should see a message Preparing one-time boot...
Not in my experience. However, it has a long-standing USB enumeration bug that manifests itself after repeated insertions of USB devices. The symptoms are Windows failing to recognise a USB device...
It's a 2TB SSD in an iDSONIX enclosure connected via USB:

It can be seen in both File Manager and Disk Management, complete with drive letter:

The laptop I took the screenshot...
My understanding is that when Windows enumerates the device it assigns an Instance ID and stores a record of it in the registry. I believe drive letter assignment is secondary to the initial...
Whilst I haven't had any issues myself with changing drive letters I know several people who recommend Uwe Seiber's USB Drive Letter Manager.
(I have used other Uwe Seiber utilities.)
Hope this...
I’ve been using Windows 10 Decrapifier for clean installs for more than 5 years now and it’s never caused any problems, even though I’ve made several additions to the script.
What I like most...
I reboot infrequently... usually only when I detect something's wrong - slow responses especially screen refreshes, the icon overlays on my desktop shortcuts turning black, etc. which indicates...
I'm beginning to see a lot of reports emerging about this. From what I read, I'm guessing that Microsoft's algorithm to determine which devices are OK to implement the Secure Boot update is possibly...
First off, C:\$Extend\$RmMetadata is a folder, not a file. For example:

Second, the folder is used by the OS, not by applications.
Third, that same comment went on to state:
IMO...
This started with NTFS, a journalling filesystem that creates metadata continuously to help maintain data integrity. It's more complex than that but that's the basic reason for why/when it started.

Can you post another screenshot of the results after running Get-NetAdapter in a PowerShell console?
(It's 4 am here and I need some sleep so I won't visit this again for many hours.)
Good screenshots... thank you.
The first screenshot shows that your Wireless adapter is not disabled as you thought... Up means that it's active. Try this:
1. Right-click on Start and select...
It may be aggressive enery-saving.
1. Right-click on Start and choose Device Manager then right-click on your Ethernet network adapter and select Properties.
2. When the Properties dialog...
'Ethernet' and 'Wireless' are different hardware network adapters.
If you open Device Manager then you should see both. For example:

It's not clear from your 'My Computer' specs but it...
That snapshot shows you are using a Public profile.
See this How to Set Network Location to Private, Public, or Domain in Windows 10 tutorial for how to change to a Private profile.
