I was unable to explain that well how these vulnerabilities in the Intel chips was being exploited. On the plus side I didn’t say anything that was incorrect, but here’s a reasonably readable description of the problem and it’s implications to us all.

Difficulties/problems of running Google’s Backup and Sync as a Service
I shared with the Tuesday group some of my difficulties/problems of running Google’s Backup and Sync as a Service which runs at Start-Up. It appears that this is not a problem, but a design feature – no doubt created by Microsoft. You can do this on the Mac, but apparently not on a Windows 10 machine.
The article below explains how you can get round this difficulty. For myself, I’m just going to have to remember to right-click the Backup and Sync Icon and run the application as Administrator every time I login. Sometimes, the simple solutions are the easiest!!!!

Windows 10 Backup and Restore
Having fumbled around for a couple of sessions, learning a lot more about Windows 10 Backup and Restore, and Recovery and Reset, facilities in the process, I’ve found this article that I think explains it all quite well.
In attempting to get Google’s Backup and Sync working on the U3A laptop this morning, I also, eventually decided to do a System Restore to before the Tuesday Group session … it’s just finished, having taken probably an hour for a relatively unchanged system. Be warned and prepared (I checked the web for info on why it was taking so long) … this could take a very long time and would probably be best done overnight!!!
