I consider the restore of the 2018 image a repair. That is, if the same
entries aren't found in that registry as well. If that is the case, then
I have the backup image that I created Sunday. I would copy individual
user folders (Firefox, Thunderbird), so I wouldn't loose that data.

As mentioned, there /is/ the possibility that she installed some
(harmless?) Chinese software. That would explain why Defender,
Malwarebytes, CCleaner, SUPERAntiSpyware and Avast don't find anything.
