<blockquote>Unquestionably, I wrote the original links to Microsoft in my post. I thus attributed.</blockquote>

This if flat-out wrong.  Here is all the text in the post you reference:

<blockquote>I actioned all these steps to Take Ownership of my Drive D, like adding Everyone to permissions and choosing "Never notify me when" in User Account Control.<br>

Thus why am I still thwarted by this pop up below?<br>

My account is already "Administrator".</blockquote>

That's your entire post minus the pictures.  There is no attribution anywhere, and the images themselves don't contain any either.  You are presenting other people's work as your own.  You should be suspended at this point, since this was explained to you before and you were warned <a href="https://powerusers.codidact.com/posts/285726">here</a>.

<blockquote>These screenshots share the same RELEVANT details as pop ups from my computers.</blockquote>

You are the one asking, so are not in a position to judge what is relevant.  We don't want to waste time only to discover later that the problem is quite different due to some detail you didn't think mattered.  Put another way, anyone who doesn't know the answer to the question can't be trusted to know what clues are relevant.

<blockquote>There is no basis, or point, to spend hours screen shotting myself</blockquote>

<b><i>Hours?</i></b> Seriously!!?  Getting an image of the screen onto the clipboard is a single key stroke.  From there it's simple to paste that into your favorite image editor, clip off everything that isn't the window you want to show, and write the result to an image file.  This shouldn't take more than a minute or two.  If it really takes you hours, then learn how to do it more efficiently, or don't post here.

<blockquote>I feel that many users here scorn me and my questions.</blockquote>

It's not about you, but the quality of your posts.  You have a history of asking questions that are hard to read, don't follow intellectual property rules, and reference pertinent information in links.  You often don't respond to feedback, or take days to do so.  When you do, it's usually about arguing how the feedback is wrong instead of correcting your actions accordingly.  In the process, you come across as arrogant and entitled.

In short, you've abused the site and pissed off a lot of users here.  <i>Of course</i> they aren't giving you slack anymore or the benefit of the doubt.  Now people are just going to roll their eyes and be quick the the -1 unless you happen to write something really stellar.  You brought this on yourself.

Personally, <a href="https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284472/285783#answer-285783">I think your posts should be rate limited</a>.  With your current rep of -82, that would allow you one post every 82 days, or about every 2&frac12; months.  Seems about right.
