sounds like the windows installation media was corrupt
it is, the number of things it claims it finds, repairs and cleans up seems to be the same or close to the same for everyone. I had it and my computer because really unresponsive after I ran its 1.5 hour malware inspection , and i mean the issues were nearly immediate. I got a off feeling and I went and deleted all the files I could relating to it but it also downlaosd an application that even if I uninstall keeps showing back up
May be attributable to Windows being a pOS
Yea 100% bloatware & not needed
Bro Just use the free trial lol
Yeah no I don’t do that
I am thankful for this thread concerning Fortect. I used it twice in the past week, and was amazed at the amount of issues addressed. I thought Windows Update and Defender were supposed to be tops in keeping things under the hood in tip-top shape. As a person who isn’t all that tech savvy, I need to use something that is affordable compared to a tech service call that runs nearly $100 per hour.
i also installed valorant and ever since i did, my pc has kept having problems like crashing, very weird.
Hey, uhh… I know this is an old post, but did you ever figure this out? I’m wondering if many of us are running into Power Supply issues. I’m seeing multiple posts about “Fresh Install of Windows” “BSODs/Crashes/ETC” and that makes me think Hardware.
Also, you added drives? Those take up power too; it might be good to find a power supply requirement calculator online and then compare that requirement to your current Power Supply Unit. Even if the one you have matches the power draw of your PC, they lose available wattage overtime, so they could eventually not be providing what they were once able to.
Hope you solved it already! Good luck!
Definitely malwarebytes is totally worth it, their computer cleanup and boost actually works to by deleting temporary/unnecessary files and clearing cache
Thanks for the reply, yea I got it all sorted. Once I swapped out my old drives I haven’t had an issue since. Seems to me that it was indeed a hardware issue pointing to my drives. I’ve held onto the drives for a couple builds now so they were relatively old in comparison to the rest of my PC.
Shoot. Now I feel like a goober. I know I’ve been having drive issues for like 2 months (noisy big ol’ HDD, grunting and growling, needing drive repairs every week or two…) so I’ve been moving stuff from that drive to try and get rid of it… it could very well simply be a side-effect of that drive going, or it could be my old SSD that is long past its retiree date… lol; both my older drives dying in protest of me replacing them with a fancy NVMe… 
Guess I’ll have to get another one so I can fit all their data. lol
Glad you sorted your issue out! 
Hi, I’m writing this to help any future wonderers that may see this post. If your having issues with a game/program after a fresh install you should look at getting the redistributions (C++, dx, vc redists, etc.) this will fix 90% of issues. Very easy to forget, and is very easy download and install, so I always try to remember to do this first. Hope this helps someone 
I also am having issues with a fresh windows install finding corrupt files. I feel like I’ve troubleshooted everything in the book, reformatted both my drives and scanned both for any errors but I still continue to get BSODs and errors after two fresh installs (One with USB media and one running and ISO directly.) I even got BSOD during my 2nd attempt to reinstall windows so I can’t even tell if it installed correctly lol. I feel like I’ve run sfc scans and DISM checks/restores a thousand times idk what kind of corruption is occurring. This all seemed to have stemmed from me accidentally unplugging my PC when I had a windows update ready to install (I think). Everything kind of started going to shit after that so I’m thinking it correlates?
First you should try to start windows in safe mode and see if this works as it will make the next steps easier if it is your only pc. Then you need to download and then fully reinstall windows (saving files should work, but if not then do a full install).
Had this problem a few times. When updating if you shut the power off it can corrupt the system files into an unrecoverable state. It sucks, but in most cases doing this is what is needed to fix it as DISM and SFC didn’t work.
In the chance it doesn’t fix it, it means you have a bigger hardware problem on your hands so would need to do some other tests accordingly.
Hope this helps somewhat and you get your pc working again bud
Thanks homie! Everything seems to be running ok as of lately, no blue screens the last few days. Played through all of the BO6 campaign with no crashes or issues so hoping I’m in the clear after a slew of troubleshooting+driver updates.
