You mean to tell me running sfc /scannow and DISM.exe didn't fix the problem?

I hope there is someone proposing to format en reinstall Windows like their forums always suggest for minor issues.

Switched two years ago! Ironically that involved the new installation of an OS as well..

That's always my recommendation to friends with windows problems. 15% of the time it works every time.

Is this not how ansible and infrastructure as code is supposed to kind of work? If an instance acts up, kill it and redeploy?

Reintalling Windows surprisingly solves those minor issues, however doing a reinstall just for that is insane.
