Most of the time, I&#8217;m using macOS for work and for my personal laptop. However, my gaming machine runs Windows because most games don&#8217;t run on (or don&#8217;t run well) on macOS. I also got tired of using Windows emulators like Wine and Crossover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My MSI laptop was having stuttering issues with the nVidia 3070 graphics card. (Yes, did lots of research, tried lots of different solutions, all drivers up to date including BIOS firmware.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean install #1: Oh look, new problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I finally got fed up enough that I did a clean install of Windows. The first time, I kept my files but reinstalled the OS. While the graphics driver issue was resolved, there were two other issues introduced. 1) I could no longer see the Virus and threat protection section of Windows Security. Trying to access this page and others popped up an error message noting I didn&#8217;t have rights to view that page and to contact the help desk. (!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2) Device security said it wasn&#8217;t enabled and wouldn&#8217;t let me see the options to enable it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean install #2: Problems persist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lots of troubleshooting later, I gave it the finger and reinstalled Windows and wiped the hard drive. The install used the recovery partition from my laptop so it kept the drivers but had a fresh Windows copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issues above persisted. I managed to resolve some of the issues by resolving some of the missing capabilities for device security. Installing a third-party AV app resolved the other issue. EXCEPT this IT policy issue persisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, there wasn&#8217;t a virus on the machine. I used several AV scanners and malware detectors; all came back fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean install #3 did the trick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After about 20+ hours of troubleshooting and trying different solutions, I just re-wiped the machine for the third time. This time, using a USB drive as install media. AND! It appears the file permissions issues are also resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Created a restore save point. Sigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really would have preferred using the terminal instead of Power Shell, admin-rights CMD, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have I mentioned how much I love Windows?
