Upon the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, that began in 2022, ABBYY immediately began closing its operations in Russia — stopped all sales, development, and provision of services in Russia and Belarus.[15] As of October 2024 ABBYY’s former Russian legal entities are liquidated.

Yes, I did all those things and said words I can’t use on this forum or in front of my baby sister.  I tried five different DVDs in form of install, repair disks before one from last January – a 1909 install disk finally caught the attention of the BIOS.  After that it was only three more hours if install and up date until I could start replacing all the programs lost in the debacle.  I was fully backed up with both Win7 backup and Macrium. on four(4) devices.  Win10 didn’t like them.

Oh well. Just for the fun of it I tried installing an old version of Ubuntu.  Took 20 minutes total. It had no problem being read as the windows disks did. Thanks. eckis

I have now tried everything at least twice with no good results.Even though with Task Manager I can open some files and see that my USB devices and CD/dvd player are recognized none of them will boot a repair disk or an ISO. If I decide to format the SSD, will that make it more likely I can install a fresh copy from a disk?

I’ve fooled with these things since MS-DOS, but never have had to reformat and reinstall.

Paul,
When I wrote the following
“The problem with using those commands is that the only way I can reach a command prompt is through task manager, and it does not give me elevated privileges.” I was obviously wrong. I have now run sfc and am now running dism ***/restorehealth.
Still get no help from CD, DVD, or USB repair or install devices.
If I can figure out how to dot, I am going to re-install 1909.
Thanks, eckis

Thanks, Paul.  The problem with using those commands is that the only way I can reach a command prompt is through task manager, and it does not give me elevated privileges.

My USBs and CDs are seen by device manager, but an error message when I try to use a backup, whether Acronis or WIN7 backup is that the disk cannot be read.

I have a Win10 1909 ISO, but it can’t be read.

The start button is a ghost button. It’s there, but does not respond.

This is the first problem I’ve ever had with updates, but it makes up for all those trouble free years.
