System Event Notification Service and missing dll files

I have been trying to fix an issue for 60 days now and I decided to purchase your software. At this time, I hope that I have purchased the correct program? My issue occurred when I decided to switch from Panda Dome anti-virus to Bitdefender (BD). During the installation, I got a prompt that stated for me to remove my Malwarebytes AV, which I did. However, BD gave me no notice about my Hitman Pro.Alert AV program. After I had installed BD, a few day later, (SEP 24), I ran a Hitman Pro.Alert scan. It found one item, a suspicous ".dll file" and asked if I wanted to quarantine or delete? To keep this short, I used the quarantine option, because if there were any issues, I could just remove the quarantine. Well, yes, there were immediate problems. My tool bar display changed and I found out quickly that I could not move pictures or files from (for example) Downloads to My Documents. It also affected my ability to use my graphic art software, such as COREL. There's a lot more to this and I am very disappointed with Sophos, who bought the rights to Hitman Pro and Hitman Pro.Alert. Bottom line, I was not able to restore this "quarantined .dll file."

After realizing this, I went to my system restore, to restore my computer, but I was stunned to see that there was only one option, and that was for the SEP 24 date. I had no idea if this date (and time) was before or after the incident. When I tried to restore, I ended up getting a prompt stating that the restore failed. When I went back to the system restore page, the SEP 24 date was gone. So at this point, I knew I was in trouble. I know more that the average person about Windows Operating Systems and I did a lot of research trying to fix this problem which I feel is in the System Events Notification Service. At one point. I had gone into the HKEY system for the System Events Notification Service and changed a "2" to a "1" so as to enable the service. When I restarted, my tool bar was restored and I could move files again, but my tool bar had went to a default icon setting and my speaker volume icon was now hidden. Later, I restarted my WIN 7 Pro HP tower and all the former issues reappeared. What upsets me is that I normally would have taken a screenshot of the file name, but in this case I didn't, because I thought that I would be able to restore the file.

So I just ran your Registry Cleaner and I do not think that I have the correct software that you offer? Is RC10, just a cleaner? Your ad made it seem like it fixed corrupt OS files. Please let me know if RC10 is capable of finding and restoring dll files in my WIN 7 OS. If not, then I am going to contact PayPal and request a refund. If Auslogics has a different software for recovering/repairing dll files, then I will purchase it. About two weeks ago, I purchased a software program due to how it was advertised, only to find out that it only restored "non OS" files and documents. That is not what I was wanting. I need a software program for restoring/repairing OS files.

Perte souris et pavé tactile sur ASUS R702U

Bonjour,
A l'occasion d'une mise à jour des drivers, (Windows 10) la procédure s'est bloquée.
j'ai dû arrêter mon portable (CTRL ALT DEL).
Au redémarrage plus de possibilité de valider une action.
Plus de pavé tactile, plus de souris !
Comment pouvoir ré-utiliser mon portable ?
Je vous envoie cette question de mon poste fixe
Comment choisir une langue de contact par défaut; mon anglais est scolaire et ancien.
Merci de votre réponse.
Cordialement.

Failed Windows 11 Update 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5053598)

Every day my computer tries to install the 2025-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5053598) and every day after trying to install for an hour or more, it reverses and uninstalls the update. The automatic installs which keep failing are preventing me from using my computer whi;e the install and unistall happens.
How do I fix this?
I have an HP Laptop 15-dy2xxx with a1TB drive and 466GB free on it.
