"Yes, many users have reported issues with VPNs dropping IP addresses." This is my second VPN I'm using, first was Surfshark, and I haven't had any experiences like this with that service as far as I can remember. It may be something I'll have to live with. Thanks

Everything is updated, and pretty much have done everything. Changing network appears to cause that issue. Whenever I manually change from mobile Data to a Wi-Fi.

No none of that works. I have an s23 Ultra fyi. Problem still occurs every so often

Already checked @Alexandru_BD. it gave me that 1 month, thank you for the reward

Nice👌 @Alexandru_BD And how do I go about claiming my 1 month extension? is it automatic?

Huh? I was looking for help not sure what I did to be exact?

Thanks for the help

Well an Update. I did pretty much what you told me to do. I followed the instructions and this is what happened. "I've tried these steps up to step 3. Sfc/scan now command says I no integrity violations." Did DISM step, mispelled it a bit but typed it correct. It did its job I suppose. Then I did a reinstall but choosing…

Ok those steps aren't working I'm gonna have to do a full reset

Should I continue with step 5 then? Hold up I just had to write correctly with spaces.

I've tried these steps up to step 3. Sfc/scan now command says I no integrity violations. "Dism/online cleanup etc" came up with an Error 87 stating "online/cleanup-image/restore-health option is unknown"

What are some good tools for these when I get my laptop running?

@Flexx Ok thanks for the confirmation. While in safe mode will can malware move to the USB while I'm backing up my desired files? I'm kinda paranoid ATM over all this

Acc Chatted with Microsoft support before talking with you they told me that my only option was to do What step 5 says. Gonna go and buy a USB stick, backup those files then gonna try that method.

Before I did those actions between the date of the posting and my first response and actions, my laptop was operating just fine turning off and on ok. Then I deleted those temp files and bam here I am. I've scanned my laptop between those dates in all the ways possible that Bit defender offers and other third party means.…

I didn't do it in safe mode and honestly its the only way to access my files. After the deletion I had restarted my laptop manually (which is ten years old btw). I get a Critical_Process_Died error. I plan on saving some files that are downright important to mostly sentimental for me via a USB drive. Please tell me is that…

Well after doing this I got a BSOD

Hi I cant seem to delete this folder specifically. It says I need special permissions. Ive went ahead and deleted some but not all got deleted

Ah! I see. Before I had bought Bit defender I had bought Kaspersky and the same thing happened. Alright thank you for the clarification.
