PC takes around two hours to boot, and NO wifi etc...
Hi, I'm using a GE72 2QC Apache MSI laptop and I'm running into some serious issues.
I'd greatly appreciate you taking your time to read this and any help you can give me.
I'll start from the beginning. The anniversary update installed on my laptop and once it was done, I tried to play a game the next day. It froze on me and I had to force turn it off, it did this over and over when I tried to play games and then did it anyway when I wasn't doing anything on it. I searched this up and it's apparent this is happening to a few windows 10 users with SSD's (I however don't have an SSD but it's happening to me anyway). So as suggested by one of the guides, I rolled back to the previous windows 10 build, only to run into even more problems...
My PC now takes around two hours to boot EVERY time and i've tried as many fixes as I could find but nothing has worked for this. (Let me note that hibernating my PC makes it NOT take two hours to boot but I still have no WIFI so in essence this serves no purpose). Also every time I boot my sound is disabled and I have to click on it to troubleshoot it and make it work. My wifi however, hasn't worked at all since the rollback. It shows an "ethernet connected" symbol constantly and when I go into the network and internet settings there are no wifi options whatsoever. I've tried every fix I can find for this for example unchecking "Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" on my wifi adapter but this resets every time I restart my pc. I have tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling, updating and finally disabling and re-enabling it but to no avail. I've tried using all the following command prompts as suggested by other guides but these do nothing whatsoever:
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
sfc /scannow
Nothing is working and i'm starting to lose hope. I fear I may have to buy an external hard drive to store my data on, and factory reset my laptop. I really hope it doesn't have to come to this. If I can provide anymore information please let me know and I'll do my best to respond ASAP.
Thank you.
