Windows 10: Nothing but errors and problems with Windows 10 install

This computer originally was working fine. But then it started getting weird symptoms. Colored lines would come across the browser, YouTube videos would pixelate, the browser would crash. I thought perhaps it was a video driver issue, so I installed a new driver. Still, the symptoms persisted to the point that the browser crashed more often than worked. So I tried using Microsoft's Edge. Still the same problem. I tried Firefox. And still the same. Eventually, Windows 10 crashed completely and when it went into the automatic repair, it failed to complete that, i.e. BSOD.


I decided to start fresh. I formatted the hard drive and did a clean install of Windows 10. Immediately, I received Windows could not configure one or more system components. To install Windows, restart the computer and then restart the installation." Found a workaround, got Windows to install and was finally able to log in after the defaultuser0 mess. Again, problem after problem.


I have all the drivers I need, but I can't get into Device Manager MMC.exe was blocked. So I've had to run CMD, right click to run as administrator and then type mmc.exe so I can add Device Manager to the console. Seriously? This shouldn't be. And every time I do that, I have to reload the console I saved that currently has device manager, disk management, services and a few other things I threw on there. Any way, I have multiple areas that need updated drivers: SM Bus, memory controller, PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller, not to mention the video driver is a generic one. I HAVE those drivers. But device manager won't let them update. Ugh.


Every time I try to update a driver I get:

"Illegal operation attempted on a registry key"


By the way, Windows Update feature won't work either. Neither will the troubleshooter it just says "a problem occurred". I have reset this PC, I've reinstalled Windows 10, I've formatted the hard drive and attempted this all over again. All I've succeeded in doing is massively wasting my time. I just can't understand why a fresh install would come with so many problems. I mean, one right after another. Is it too much to ask to just install and work the first time??!

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
