I am confused by your question here???? And by the fact that you appear to be replying to yourself. If you are asking about selecting the reason for running EtreCheck, it doesn't really matter which you select. It merely provides a suitable title for the report when posted here.

Not a problem 😁. The forum software is quite unforgiving... there is no going back. Key thing is if your compute is acting better.
