According to here Windows will automatically authenticate itself based on my Microsoft account: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsinsider/cleaninstall However I don't use a Microsoft account to sign into Windows because I find it very annoying. Perhaps I should sign in though before...

Ok so not a reinstall? I will have to clean install it and lose all my stuff? If that's the case that's ok I can reinstall it all and save my data on a hard drive. Just wanna confirm.

I suppose I just wanted to fix the issue before I started moving hard drives around. So should I change the SSD to the new computer and the do a re-install again?

Thanks my friend :). Yes I will pause for a while. Thing is I am now planning on moving the SSD to a new computer. Might that cause some issues? I don't know exactly how this stuff works, so maybe I'd need to update drivers at that point or still just leave it?

Well the reinstall worked thank god. Thanks so much for your help and everyone else who helped! Windows just did an update and everything seems ok still. Should I be weary of future updates, or it's likely to be ok now?

I believe I did install the Intel one recently. Didn't work so then I tried the HP driver updater thingy. Did the BIOS and the graphics and it hasn't worked, so I'm gonna try the reinstall now.

Yes this is possible. I will try the BIOS driver, then a reinstall.

Well the graphics driver seems to have partially worked. Frequent blacking out was happening, but less crazy than before. I'll try the BIOS next and see what that does.

Thank you... I will try installing the latest graphics driver tonight. In System Information it says BIOS Version/Date: AMI F.30, 2023-07-04 Which seems not to be the latest version based on the HP site, which gives version F.32 Rev.A on Dec. 4, 2023. If installing the graphics driver doesn't...

Right thank you. And for my issue you would lean towards a repair install correct? I did notice it said I need this build, but wasn't totally sure what it meant or how to get it. Hey there thank you :). Ok so I ran sfc/scannow and got the message: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt...

I did not actually try option 2 yet because it seemed way more complicated. But I suppose I will have to do that now as option 1 isn't working. Yes in options one is says to go to Settings > System > Recovery > Fix problems using Windows Update But when I do this, under Recovery I don't have...

Ok so before I do anything stupid, I don't have the option to "Fix problems using Windows Update" in Recovery Settings. I have "Reset this PC", which I'm assuming is the same thing? I've attached a screenshot. After choosing that option there is an option to keep my files, but not my apps...

Ok I think I will have to try this, because doing the Windows 11 secret hidden drivers updates didn't work :(. I will try this one and report back, thanks!

Thanks! I tried it... there were 4 drivers available to install in the optional updates section. I'll install them and restart and put it to sleep over night and see how it is tomorrow. I'm a bit confused. I installed my own ssd in the laptop when I got it. It also had Windows 10. So any hard...

Thanks. It just says 86C9... does that sound about right? I believe the HP app I downloaded said the were up to date, but I will check again. I found an old email with the email from ebay where I bought it from. It says hp 15-dy100. The auto-selector on the HP website says hp dy-1000...
