    Hi Sanford Schimel,

    Thank you for providing the screenshot.

    The error 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 is typically associated with a driver, storage, boot, or firmware issue encountered during Windows Setup.

    To help us investigate further, could you please provide the following information?

    1. Your current Windows version and build number (run winver and share the result).
    2. Whether you're enrolled in the Windows Insider Program, and if so, which channel (Canary, Dev, Beta, or Release Preview).
    3. The exact error message you receive when attempting to open Device Manager.

    Also, if it is convenient for you, would you be willing to perform a clean installation of Windows (after backing up any important data)? Knowing whether a clean install from bootable installation media succeeds or encounters a similar error would help determine whether the issue is limited to the current Windows installation or related to the underlying hardware/boot environment.

    We look forward to your update.
