Is the above how the message was actually presented or has a partial
translation taken place? Just asking because it would seem to indicate

Hmm, I'm at a loss. It is not a strict Windows issue as you can restore

One of those things where the more you think of it the further it goes
away. We will see if working on other stuff causes it to sneak up on me:)
