Well, I updated the bios on my Z690 and it totally borked the PC, windows 11, would post, but would not launch windows. I rolled back the bios and same, no windows launch. I tried windows repair and going to an earlier save, no go. I've never had a bios update kill a PC so hard the past 25 years. Anyway, flashed bios again to same previous version and installed windows fresh on a new partition.
My PC runs much better now, so there is that. It's no longer pokey or slow. Go figure.
