Had this PC a few years, and have installed Win10x64 onto it many many times without any issues. Been about a year and figured I'd reinstall it, clear out old files and folders etc... same as any other time.
My Win10x64 was a bit older, 1607 from Oct 2016. Always worked just fine but, this time just a bunch of small issues. Downloads folder kept resetting back to grouped view, no matter what I did. After literally 20min of doing it in various ways, it finally stuck. Then, numeric keyboard not working... well, it worked as cursors. Plus... despite having everything possible disabled and set to never, I'd walk away for a while, come back and it's in sleep mode. Had videos encoding at the time, didn't matter, it switched to sleep.
Grabbed Version 20H2 Build 19042.630, more current copy, and same issue with the random sleep kicking in, plus a few unknown devices.
No idea what's going on... kinda getting annoyed. Have done this literally a dozen times on this PC and had 0 issues.
Googled and a lot of threads on this unknown device but old and often no solution. Few mentions of using the original CD, but sadly, no idea where that went. Never needed it. I went to ASUS and grabbed the Intel drivers, Sound Card keeps 'popping' randomly, when not in use so grabbed the Audio drivers, plus the VGA driver... all mentioned in various threads. The Intel driver got rid of the one unknown... the last one... acpi\pnp0a0a\2&daba3ff&0... no idea.
Not sure if matters but... when I install Win10, I delete all partitions until it's just the 1 unformatted/unallocated partition and install to that. I don't install over top.
Any ideas? About to format again... although just installed, I've been changing this that and the other trying to get this install working right... I'm sure some stuff is now messed up from fixing other stuff.
