App Made Too Many Attempts error?

[psjames1]

When you did the fresh install....

1. Was it a clean install from bootable media, deleting all existing UEFI partitions?
2. Did you go on and reinstall all your third-party apps and devices before testing?

If the answer to 1. is no, then you MUST do a fully clean reinstall from bootable media. If the answer to 2. is yes, then you may well have reinstalled the problem.

Yes I did clean Install from a bootable usb and Yes I deleted all partitions on the windows drive before installing.

No I didn't reinstall third party apps, I didn't get a chance to install or do anything...I logged in for the first time and that error immediately appears.

Interesting.

• Did you run Windows Update until no more updates were found?
• If you open Device Manager do any devices have a small yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark next to them?

Can you try starting Windows in Safe Mode. In Safe Mode a stripped-down Windows system is loaded, with only critical services and drivers loaded. Typically no third-party drivers are loaded. This does mean that you won't be able to do any useful work in Safe Mode, or play games, and many of your devices may not work properly (or at all) because their drivers have not been loaded. Your display will be low resolution for example, because you'll be using only the Windows basic display driver.

The usefulness of Safe Mode is that because it's a stripped-down system consisting only of Microsoft services and drivers it's very stable, so if you see this application error in Safe Mode we're likely looking at a hardware cause. There is another test we can do however, but let's see how Safe Mode goes first.

Things have gone from bad to worse...

Been away the last 24 hours so I haven't been able to look into it...but I've now come back to find bizarrely Bluetooth has disappeared from the PC all together. Bios shows Bluetooth is enabled but Windows isn't picking it up at all. Windows update doesn't register any updates required, Device Manager doesn't show Bluetooth anywhere, it just doesn't exist. Tried downloading the drivers from both the website and the rog driver usb dongle. The only thing I can see in device manager that is showing any sign of error is under usb controllers...where there is a "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" with a yellow triangle black exclamation mark. I've re-cleaned the hard drive again, booting up hangs with a

q code 98 "console input devices connect"​

Think it's time to get it sent back for repair. Somethings not right.

If you follow @ubuysa advice in the meantime it will tell us more

Where did you source the windows installer by the way? And are you applying optional updates, not just windows updates?
