    Having a problem with all communication apps


    When I call someone with any app this is a problem on Skype, Zoom, and Discord two things happen. Firstly all other apps are muted, secondly after about 10-15 minutes on the call the audio becomes garbled and distorted. It sort of sounds like the audio is extremely compressed.

    Does anybody know what is causing this and how to fix it.

    Sorry if this isn't enough information.

    Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
