    I have stopped to process of Google Drives Sync in Task Manager but OH now says she needs it for her storage - How do I turn the process back on?

    Assuming it's set to run on startup, just log out & log in again.


    Or, if you look at the registry keys below, you should see the name of the executable you need to run.

    [LIST]
    [*][B]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run[/B]
    [*][B]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    
    [/B]
    [/LIST]

    Restart the computer, all you've done is stop the process for now. It will start up again on restart.

    Edit: that's presuming you didn't stop it from the services tab in task manager, if you did just change it back to auto.

    We were getting 16mbps which was sufficient until my Daughter returned home and started using the wifi. We had to upgrade to fibre to the cabinet as we both got fed up with the slow downloads.

    That's because daughter will have been spending all day on YouTube. ;)
