Did my Win10 Re-Install completed? It wanted to install AGAIN after it restarted.

Hey there

It is probably normal, just checking.

I Re-Installed Windows 10. When it did it's thing, it restarted and instead of going to set my settings, it went back to "Select Language". I thought it was part of selecting settings so I selected English, and hit next, and it said "INSTALL" again. So it was back trying to install Windows.

I am thinking- it is either failed install and wanted to install again, or needed to install something else (not likely), or- it just detected USB drive with OS installer and attempted to boot from it.

I canceled Windows installation, took USB out and restarted. I think it had to restart more than once because I have seen Asus ROG logo several times, and then it went to setting the settings.

Is it ok? Do I need to re-install it? If I do reinstall (because I have excuse to reinstall again for other reason), how do I prevent it from accessing USB drive and attempting to reinstall again? Thanks.

redundant answer since you reinstalling windows again anyway, but its windows installer lacking a warning to tell you to remove USB once its finished.

You did the right thing, it catches people out a lot. There are a few improvements I would make to the installer, some errors just don't make any sense

I think there was a difference. The install that attempted to restart and reinstall allowed me to install my unsigned Presonus driver- looks like it did not have 1607. Future installs do not allow it. Because I reinstalled- I am back to square one with unsigned driver.

i know you up to install number 5 or something but at least its faster than it used to be, win 10 takes 20 minutes on an ssd. Still wasted time. Hope we can get it so driver actually works soon
