Reinstalling windows is less about fixing the issue and more about nuking all of the variables and random settings and programs accumulated over years. For me with the EAC issue it was much simpler to reinstall than to try and track down the specific issue it was having. For another reinstall success I’ve seen, reduced total system memory usage by about 4 GB. That got the total system memory usage under the 16 GB the computer had. It’s not fixing it, it’s just nuking everything and hoping it helps.
It helps some, but not everyone for sure. We’re not dealing with a single cause of the crashes, there’s a lot of them. For some, like me, reinstalling windows is simple. I only use that computer for gaming. quick backup of saved games and nothing lost. But for many others reinstalling windows is a horrifying prospect.
On HDR, I wasn’t saying windows 10 is equivalent to windows 11, just the HDR looked better than non-HDR. Thanks for the info, whenever I get an OLED I’ll look at installing windows 11. I use the same monitor for work and play so I’m hesitant to move to OLED yet.
