I've handled this before too! I also attempted to switch to an earlier driver, but that didn't work either.

Sure, I've encountered this situation before—it's odd, but clearly a misinterpretation. If it were me, I'd be checking the formatting... Lol. My PC is configured with minimal files on the OS drive, which makes the process quick—under an hour from a failed setup to a fresh install with everything working. Most setups aren't like this, and having a NAS really eases the process.

I can identify factors that influence performance.

I usually switch things up first when something goes wrong, which has mostly helped. Still, I ended up having to reinstall Windows twice, mainly after updates—so it wasn’t an issue with the hardware. Before getting new components, I’d definitely try a clean reinstall too. I have backups of my OS drive, so I just need to copy my apps and Steam data to another drive. The rest of my files, like videos and photos, are already on other drives. It takes about 20 minutes with SSDs to do the reinstall properly. The best part is I’ll always keep the same version, which is great! 1809 ftw
