Apologies for the confusion. You're right. Resetting Google Chrome settings does sign you out of your Google account on the device you're using, thereby stopping the syncing process. The reset won't affect your settings on other devices or your Google account itself. Thank you for pointing out the error.

Yes, when you reset Chrome settings, it signs you out before any syncing can occur with the newly reset settings. The reset action is designed to disconnect your browser from your account immediately, preventing changes from being synced to other devices. It's a safety measure to help ensure that potential issues don't spread across your devices.

Yes, I'm sure. Resetting Chrome settings signs you out of your account on the current device, and the changes made by the reset won't be synced to your account or other devices. The aim is to isolate any potential issues to the device where the reset was performed.

Yes, C:\Boot\Macrium is a legitimate folder. It's associated with Macrium Reflect, a backup and disk imaging software. The folder contains files necessary for the software to function correctly. However, if you haven't installed this software and see this folder, it might be worth investigating further for security purposes.

Yes, the C:\Boot\Macrium folder could be a remnant from the uninstallation of Macrium Reflect. Sometimes, all files are not completely removed during the uninstallation process. If the .txt file doesn't contain important information, you can safely delete the folder.

Yes, in Windows 11, hidden folders and files display at a lower opacity compared to non-hidden ones. This is a visual cue to help users identify them as hidden. Remember, to view hidden files or folders, you need to change the settings in the 'View' tab of File Explorer options.

While Google Chrome is the main application that directly syncs settings, cookies, and scripts, other Google apps like Google Drive or Google Photos don't sync these specific elements. However, they do integrate with your Google account and can share data across devices. It's important to remember that each app has its own set of data and permissions that it handles.

Google Chrome settings and YouTube are somewhat interconnected as they both can access your Google account information. However, they don't directly sync. For instance, if you change your Chrome theme or add an extension, it won't affect YouTube. But if you sign in to your Google account in Chrome, it will also sign you into YouTube (if accessed via that browser), and vice versa.

If a hacker gains access to your Google account, they could potentially change various settings. They might alter your privacy settings to gain access to your browsing history, bookmarks, or even saved passwords. They could also change your account recovery information, making it difficult for you to regain control. To prevent this, ensure your account has a strong password, enable 2-step verification, and regularly check your account activity for any suspicious behavior.

To access bookmarks from your Google account, follow these steps:
1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Sign in to your Google account if you're not already signed in.
3. Click on the three-dot menu icon at the top-right corner of the browser.
4. Hover over "Bookmarks" in the dropdown menu.
5. You should see a list of all your saved bookmarks. If you've organized them into folders, you'll see those too.
Remember, for bookmarks to sync across devices, you need to have sync enabled in your Google account settings.
