hi
have you tested with Firefox?
I analyzed with Spybot
Spybot is outdated, uninstall it
then, do this:
download FRST from (Fabar) to your desktop --> click here
PS: take the one corresponding to your pc (32 or 64 bits) -> click here
run it as administrator (right click)
at the end of the scan, the FRST and ADDITION reports will appear on your desktop and in C:\FRST\LOG
post the reports via cjoint --> click here

Hi
Do you have Avast on your PC? Do you want to keep it or uninstall it?
On W11, Windows Defender is installed by default with Windows and does the same job!
See you later

Hi
I know you have Avast, I'm asking you if you want to keep it or uninstall it since Windows Defender, which does the same job, is installed on the PC.
See you+

re
ok for Avast

re
On the other hand, for the Windows 7 desktop PC
you want to make the appearance of the desktop of W7 on W11?
PS: hi Kaneagle

hi
Tell me if I synchronize with the desktop PC in Google, will I retrieve my passwords?
If you synchronize what with the desktop PC in Google?
What do you mean by appearance?
I thought you wanted to put the W7 desktop on W11

Hello,
Apparently, bookmarks and passwords are primarily through a Google account, otherwise retrieving the appropriate files and merging them on a local Windows 11-Windows 7 network is quite a challenge.

It's not a good idea to continue using Chrome on Windows 7 anyway, as it is no longer updated or maintained, and we don't know which features are still available; it's better to prefer Firefox ESR. -
re
For the desktop PC
Is the PC in question running W7?
The PC on which you ran FRST is running W11 and is up to date
@+
Hi
Did you see my previous message? ==> click here
Since you uninstalled Chrome on your PC with W11 and reinstalled it, I don't know if it's possible to recover the passwords
Talk to you later

In the absence of a shared Google account or the acrobatics of a network copy, it is enough, if they are the same, to export them from Windows 7 to a USB stick and import them into Windows 11.

hi
it's a good thing -:)
do you still have any issues, or is everything okay for you?
@+
re
I still have those famous favorites in W7 that Google no longer manages
it's because W7 no longer supports the current version of Chrome
you can upgrade to W10 with this PC running W7...
the end of support for W10 is announced for October 14, 2025
let us know what you want to do with your PC running W7
@+
-
I'm doing everything with it. But it doesn't seem to recognize that it's no longer supporting Chrome.
I had the same issue with W11, which is why I uninstalled it. I struggled too much, so I don't want to uninstall it on W7. I just want it to restore my favorites and to be able to delete them like before.
re
I've just explained to you that it's not possible because W7 no longer supports the current version of Chrome
PS: personally, I practice "the old-fashioned way" for the usernames and passwords of the different sites I connect to, I write everything down in a notebook
I hope you understand that it's no longer possible to sync Chrome on W7 and W11

If there was synchronization via Google account, it should have also synchronized the bookmarks.
Otherwise, I don't really believe it, and in any case, it's just delaying the inevitable. We can always try exporting to an HTML file to a USB drive and importing it the other way around.

So either you change your browser, or you upgrade your PC to Windows 10 if it has the resources and drivers, it's no longer free, but you can find licenses online for €0.90.
However, what would lead in the first case to changing the browser also under Windows 11, is that it's always easier to recover bookmarks with the same one (and it's especially easy with Firefox). -
