You can use a simple Windows command to update your operating systems' settings. Running:
gpupdate /force
. . . in command prompt can adjust advanced network settings or make changes for a single user's computer.
The network admin can grant or block access to folder directories and applications with the group policy. Run this command if you don't have access to a location or software that you should have access to.
Note that if you have a 32-bit operating system, you will be limited to using 4 GB of RAM - and in practice something closer to 3.5 GB of RAM since the registry must consume some memory. One of the key advantages of a 64-bit operating system is that the RAM limit is far higher - 16 exabytes, or more than 16 billion GBs.
A computer with a 32-bit processor and 10 GB of RAM, will have 6 GB of RAM that it can't access.
Keep in mind that a 32-bit program can run on a 64-bit system, but the converse is not true. You will not be able to run 64-bit programs on a 32-bit system.
Each week, Windows creates restore points, which are copies of program and system files. Restore points will also be created when new applications or device drivers are installed.
You can use a PowerShell command to generate a list of the restore points that exist on a computer. The command:
Get-ComputerRestorePoint
. . . will generate a list of the restore points and quickly give you information on when key events have taken place.
