Windows 10: Cannot remove a dead link from My PC

I no longer have system folders, ever since Microsoft removed the "system" designation from their default folders. But there remained a dead Pictures folder link (also marked as a system folder) attached on the branch between "My PC" and "C:\Drive". When clicked, it tells me that the source folder does not exist. But, I am unable to remove it and tried the following:
sfc /scannow reported everything is ok,
used DISM restorehealth with no change,
booted into safe mode and tried to delete it.
Any recommendations on how to remove it?

Unable to remove my microsoft account from a linked pc

Hi Dave,

To help you with your concern in deleting your Microsoft account from a device, we'd like to ask a few questions:

• Have you tried deleting your Microsoft account directly from the old laptop?
• How did you go about removing the account from the old laptop?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you create a new local account with admin rights first, then remove the current Microsoft account by following the steps on this

article.

We look forward to your response.

Thank you.

 

Cannot access the Sound control panel

Here is a link on how to do a Refresh of Windows 10.
This should correct the problems you have.

It will also install the best drivers MS can determine for the hardware found.
Which means you will not have to search for or install any drivers yourself.

I suggest you do the Option 2.

It will do this to your PC .

• Reinstalls Windows 10 and keeps your personal files.
• Removes apps and drivers you installed.
• Removes changes you made to settings.
• Removes any apps your PC manufacturer installed. (If your PC came with Windows 10, apps from your PC manufacturer will be reinstalled.)

 

Dead links in emails from Microsoft re Win10

I like Win10 Mail and Calendar App but the link is now dead for some reasons (maybe some unrequested automatic Win10 upgrades?) and it cannot be recovered despite using suggested procedures from some sites. Could you please help me recover that simple and
effective App?
