    As usual all obvious things don't apply to your situation, i am going to stop my attempts to help once more.

    I thought you said you'd stop trying to help me.

    Yes, especially when I even have problems after clean installs using untouched images and without setting policies afterwards or when I have problems in another/other PC/PCs which isn't/aren't even mine.

    It is true! It's your fault if you change the settings on your computer so that you don't understand what you're doing and can't/not able reset it yourself.
    It's not anyone else's fault or problem.

    Which settings do I change if I have some of the problems right after a clean install, then?

    Try changing drive letters and paths in disk management (make a note of current ones if possible )

    Hey friend, who's lying now?
    You said you did a clean installation and now you say you try to avoid a clean installation ...
    Why do you lie if you don't even do it perfectly?

    Since when I'm lying? I said I had some of the problems even after a clean install and I wasn't necessarily talking about these ones.

    There should be absolutely no problems with clean install do a hash check on your souce iso it could be corrupted, and make sure external hard drives are disconnected when installing.

    I disconnected them as well as the USB flash drives. I used UUP Dump to create the ISOs. Anyway, I've not been having the problems I was having after a clean install.

    No, those were different problems which I wasn't having after clean installs unlike before. I don't want to do another clean install in the next days.
