Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Perfect clean reinstall of Windows 11
Did you install the OS in offline mode? Where did you obtain the installer for your system?
MSI B560M Pro-VDH Wifi
What is the BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment?
I'm not entirely clear about what you're referring to with "offline mode." It seems you might have missed using this setting. During the setup, I linked my PC to a local Wi-Fi network. I made a bootable USB drive using the media creation tool from Microsoft.
Current BIOS Version 1.80 (06/08/2023) Updated yesterday before the Windows reinstall.
