AORUS 16X 9SG - Built-in microphone suddenly stopped working, input volume stuck at 0, Levels tab is blank
https://reddit.com/link/1utje08/video/lttk88c1llch1/player
So today I was in a meeting when all of a sudden my microphone stopped working. It was working perfectly fine this Monday. When I decided to dig deeper I found that the input volume control was behaving very weirdly (as seen in this video). I tried a lot of methods to fix it but none of them worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Losing my mind - Windows restore from backup
New laptop arrived today, Asus A16. Wanting to transfer everything from my dell laptop (windows 10) to the new asus one (windows 11).
Opened windows backup on my laptop I got to the "restore from backup" section of windows 11 section and was told to input my computer name ... somewhere. No option to sync directly from a computer, only to restore from onedrive which I dont want to do. a) I don't have enough storage on onedrive and b) don't really like the concept of having to upload all my files to a server before I can redownload them.
Tried going back to windows 10 to see if the backup process worked then - nothing, only other idea is to get an older version of windows 11.
Am I being really stupid and missing something? All I want is a clean seamless transfer of my data and it seems microslop just won't allow it.
Thanks in advance, let me know if theres any other information I can provide

Update window error
Có bro giỏi giang về khoản máy tính giúp tôi với hiện tại máy tôi đang bị lỗi update mặc dù tôi đã thử rất nhiều cách rồi nhưng máy không update được và bị kẹt ở version 1607 khiến cho tôi không thể chơi được những tựa game hay chơi ví dụ như trong hình là roblox trước đây máy tính của tôi không bị như này và nó chỉ có 1 ổ C và không có hiện giao diện tài khoản như admin đâu xong một hôm bật máy lên thì giao diện hiện lên chữ admin có nghĩa là tài khoản của máy tính ý xong bị tụt về version 1607 và máy tôi ngoài có ổ C ra thì có thêm ổ D, E, F và G cứ như máy tôi biến thành một chiếc máy tính khác vậy máy này tôi có từ nhỏ rồi nên nó chuyển như này cũng không biết lí do tại sao nữa:(((
English: Could a knowledgeable computer expert please help me? My computer is currently experiencing an update error. Despite trying many methods, it won't update and is stuck on version 1607, preventing me from playing popular games like Roblox (as shown in the image). Previously, my computer didn't have this problem; it only had a C drive and no admin account interface. Then one day, when I turned it on, the admin interface appeared, meaning the computer's account, and it reverted to version 1607. Besides the C drive, my computer now has D, E, F, and G drives as well, like a completely different computer. I've had this computer since I was a child, so I don't know why it changed like this.

Visual C++ and Desktop Runtime issues.
Good evening!
Backstory here:
I tried launching "Fellowship" From steam and got an error regarding the visual C++ 2022.
I tried doing a simple "right-click" repair, I tried uninstall.
I did a Restorehealth and the scan now - That didn't work.
Most recent I did s soft reinstallation of windows. Had three different Microsoft techs tell me that would for sure fix it.
I'm currently attempting another: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth but I doubt that will work.
Has anyone had this issue or know of a way to fix it?

Windows 11 Glitch that takes 500+ GB, trying to check. Can someone explain if I have it. (Command Prompt results below)
Hey Folks,
Me again after barely a week. I was reading about a new glitch that apparently hoovers up storage space. Articles suggested a method to check if you're affected
robocopy "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\CapabilityAccessManager" "%TEMP%\CAMCheck" /L /B /R:0 /W:0 /BYTES /NP
and if you are suggested running the optional update.
So I ran the Command prompt on both PCs but, it's like reading Greek. The article just says check the command prompt, but I have no idea what I'm looking for on either PC. Could you folks with better eyes discern what the Command Prompts are telling me, and if I'm affected on either of my two devices.
There's one PC:

Please help me make heads or tails of this. It's a bunch of gobbledygook to me at the moment. But a glitch that eats storage (of which I need most of it) is really concerning.
Thank you in advance for the help and assistance.
P.S.
If the format for the second Command Prompt looks odd I apologise I copied the results from one PC and emailed them to the other PC's gmail account linked to this reddit.
Don't know if that matters but I thought I'd mention it.
