Ive also managed to uninstall Microsoft Edge with 3rd party software.
Still nothing.

Now, one bit of info I think I could be an issue is This laptop is older but its still a pretty stout gamer. But one issue with this model is a driver issue with AMD catalyst control center. It apparently causes a conflict which results in a frozen screen.

So this last time that I formatted and reinstalled Win 10, I immediately turned off all windows updates so it doesnt auto dl the bad driver from AMD.
So basically, the laptop only has the basic win 10 installation from the usb drive that it came on.

My concern is that maybe there is something in an update that would cause it to not extract correctly. or to the correct folder. idk, I doubt it but thats just something I thought of.
