Hi sms1295,
- I'm unsure if reinstalling 23H2 and upgrading to 24H2 will help because 0xC1900101 is mostly a driver-related (and sometimes hardware-related) issue. But you could try that, considering that the repair installation shouldn't take much time on SSDs.
By the way, I noticed that some drivers were automatically added every time you reverted from clean boot mode after the failed setup attempt. The first one was added by the Intel Driver utility and the gdrv3.sys driver was installed by a Gigabyte service.
semav6msr64.sys
gdrv3.sys
- I prefer installing programs on the C drive and moving the data files (Documents, Desktop, Music, Videos, Downloads) to the other partition or drive. Separating the data reduces the size of the image when backing up the OS partition. I backup the OS partition using Macrium. Data files will be backed up using a robocopy batch file to an external drive and NAS.
- Unused and superseded driver store packages can be removed using the Pnpclean command we used earlier. Altenatively the Windows Assessment Toolkit from Microsoft can do the job. However, there is no tool to identify invalid drivers (vs driver store packages). It has to be done manually using a tool like FRST.
