OK, Boggin,

Here is what I get when I run CMD as admin:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32>

And here as user:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.


C:\Windows\system32>

I emailed AMD and got an unbelievably quick response:

Hi Morgan;

If your system is working as intended, please ignore any updates related to your graphic card.

Thank you

Ali

So, Boggin, are there any final diagnostics that I should apply to be sure that I have gotten all corruption from machine?

Do you have any idea what "we" did to fix things and what was the cause of this original BSOD from last Summer?

Thanks, again, Boggin.  You must be into Winter sports.  :)

Boggin:
That was good of AMD.

You've posted two pics for an admin cmd prompt.

In your Reply #248 Page 17 the pics you posted showed you being able to perform a sfc /scannow from an user account which you shouldn't have been able to do and is probably the reason why the findstr cmd failed.

Doing so should have produced this message -

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.309]
(c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\KAM4>sfc /scannow

You must be an administrator running a console session in order to
use the sfc utility.

C:\Users\KAM4>

This is why I think there's still something wrong with your system and is why I advise performing a repair install.

FreeCat:
Well, that certainly makes sense Boggin.

But, updates work.  If there a list of all updates this machine should have somewhere?

MPP IS an admin on this machine.  Maybe that is why it worked.

But, what if I do it the way you demonstrated as admin.

I am afraid of the repair install; this could alway be done at some future point --- no?
I will try that now just for drill.

And, here is the result:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32>time
The current time is: 15:09:04.60
Enter the new time:

C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

C:\Windows\system32>

Boggin, it took about 45 minutes.

If you want the log, please tell me which or where it is.  Thanks.

Boggin:
There's no point in looking at the log as it didn't find anything wrong, but a sfc /scannow doesn't scan all files.

Can you try the sfc /scannow by going Start - type cmd and press enter to see if you get the same error message as I and everyone else usually does.

And why is your cmd prompt telling you the time ?

The CBS log is found at Windows C:\Windows\Logs where you'll see the CBS log.

While there is always a local administrator, you normally have to right click on something to select Run as administrator, otherwise it runs as normal with less privileges.

At Start by typing cmd and pressing enter I get this:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Morgan Pierce Parker>

I get the time because I type in "time" to show you how long things take.

So, if you think of something more to do (other than the repair re-install
W7), Boggin, please let me know.
