Note that Microsoft Update KB4577586 removes Flash capability from Windows systems. Maybe this is related?

The sound you heard, is typical of a hard disk failing. I speak from experience. Hope you have your important files on backup?

If these files are not in these locations, then you can worry: C:\Windows\WinSxS\ C:\Windows\ImmersiveControlPanel Looking at their properties, they are legit Microsoft. Advise to leave them alone.

The person in front of the computer is the weakest link. Defender is merely a very capable tool to assist in security. When in doubt, I always double-scan downloaded files with a second anti-virus scanner.

A long time ago, I bought a licence to R-Studio. I believe they also have a 'try-before-buy' option. Always had good experiences recovering data with this program, but have not yet tried it on a SSD.

92 degC for a video card seems very hot to me. Maybe check your cooling. Especially extraction fan(s). My wife has a R7-260; never gets hotter than 77 degC, even when hammering it with a very modded game. Best way to troubleshoot your problem would be to swap the main components out one by one...

Sorry that I cannot help more. The only other thing that I can think of that I did on my 8.1 box, is that I use the "Classic Shell" 3rd party software, and I had to give "everyone" read+write permissions on the shares in 8.1. No problems on my side. You have the same username/password on both...

On my XP/8.1 network, I use only a workgroup, as the XP machines cannot join the homegroup. Thus, to connect/access the shared directories on the 8.1 machines, I made the shared directories and their files accessible to 'everyone' with 'read+write' access. On the XP machine in Win.Explorer...
