[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 891585"] It has to be immensely frustrating for sure. Yay fix one problem....booo another problem. A clean install may, or may not fix it, but it may be worth a try. TBH, when I upgrade Windows during major releases, I always do a clean install. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but in all the years I've been using W10, I have yet to run into any issues doing it this way. Maybe I'm lucky, but it seems there are far more issues with in place upgrades than doing a clean install, at least IMO. I know for some, they see it as a lot of work, but they way I look at it, either you spend a little more time 1 -2 times a year to do a clean install, or you do an inplace upgrade potentilly spending way more time troubleshooting/reverting then you would have doing a clean install. At least that's my reasoning for doing it this way and TBH it's been working for me. Personally I think Windows just has way too much going on now a days for in-place upgrades to work properly. Too many variables, too many different software/hardware combos, versions of drivers, etc.... Lets face it, unless you go looking for driver updates, rarely do OEMs (PC manufactures) update their drivers for Windows. Even if someone like Intel, Nvidia, etc....have newer drivers, most OEMS (at least in my experience) don't update them for you. Many times you go to an OEMs site and the "newest" driver is from like 2017. Sometimes you may get a "newer" driver via Windows update, but not always.
