I recently switched cases for my PC and did a fresh installation of Windows 10 using a USB pen drive, but now I'm facing an issue where after getting past the setup and the "getting ready" phase, I get stuck on the MSI motherboard loading screen with the loading bubbles freezing. I've also noticed that my PC's date keeps resetting to 2035 even after I replaced the CMOS battery, but all other settings seem to be retained. Here are my specs:
- Intel i7-8700k
- MSI B360M Gaming Plus
- SanDisk Pro 1000GB SATA SSD
- Powercolor Fighter RX6600
- Thermalright PA120 Digital
- TP Link AXE5400 PCIe Network Card
I'm running Windows 10 build 22H2 (the first version I found). If anyone has faced a similar issue or has any suggestions, I would really appreciate your help! Let me know if you need any more details.

Could it be that your Windows installation isn't clean? Sometimes, the USB drive might have issues. I'd suggest redownloading the OS and creating a new bootable drive to see if that helps. It’s worth a shot!
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll try redownloading the OS and see if that resolves the issue.
