Blue Screen of Death after reinstalling Windows 10?

Look, here’s my advice: unplug that ethernet cable while you're installing Windows. If you can find a way to kill the Wi-Fi too, even better. You want to make sure Windows stays completely offline so it doesn't try to be "helpful" by automatically downloading its own set of drivers. Ideally, once the installation finishes, you'll be stuck looking at a low-resolution screen because there are no drivers active yet. That’s exactly where you want to be. Once you're staring at that ugly display, go ahead and install the specific driver you downloaded. If that doesn't work, you'll have to manually strip out the old drivers just like Jay explained in that video. The issue is that the drivers baked into the Windows installation are what's causing the headache in the first place.

But once the whole installation wrapped up and I booted the machine back up, there’s this "connection failed" message sitting right at the bottom of the screen.
I clicked the network icon, saw my network listed with the exact right password I entered, but still—nothing. Not connected.
I have no clue what to do here.

Honestly? I don't get it either...

Basically, you decided to take advice from some guy who spends about 90% of his time lurking in the gardening subforum telling people how to grow lemons and bamboo on their balconies...

And let me guess—you didn't even bother watching the video (let alone actually following along) posted at the start of the thread. You probably just wasted your time trying to reinstall Windows over and over again with the same crappy results instead of watching that 17-minute clip where the guy breaks down the entire issue and gives step-by-step instructions on how to fix it without needing a full Windows reinstall...

For Windows 10 64-Bit edition, go with the adrenalin 22.6.1 recommended (WHQL). That should get things moving.
If that doesn't cut it, maybe give the adrenalin 21.5.2 recommended

Nice. That actually worked. No more Blue Screen of Death, finally.
