Good morning Simon
I will go one by one from you list, and asuming you have bios 2802.
All intel board, especialy ours, use 3 main drivers. The MEI (Intel ME consumer) , the Chipset, and IO (Intel SIO Driver) those need to be install and regarless people say have to be install) You can check in fact what you are using. The chipset on apps/apps installed. For me mei (that is the word i will use) on device manager, look for System Devices, then Intel Management Engine Interface #1 . In there drive is the driver version and Firmware the board mei firmware. With bios 2802 IT HAS to be 16.1.30.2264 that bios install. that number can not be remove or alter or modyfied.
The last on your list is : -Intel DTT 9.0.11401.38310 (Ipf driver V1.0.11401.38408) This is a little more hard to explain, since i am testing that since the bios 2802 was made available to us (on latpop use since ever) that for what i have see and feel, ONCE ACTIVE on bios, you install those drivers, what basic does, once the pc use the cores and get on % temp reach it will cut a little the use and asign to another core so the core get cooler. Is a intel spec parameter. I have run some test on that WITH intel spec apply and what basic does, even with my overclock apply onmy 12700kf, brake the minium limit and start moving assigment to other cores that are not in use making more dynamic, easy to manage by the cpu. The only thing i have read, that even that i am not using it as is, that works. there is no software intervention (in bios, just active and have a lot if parameters the i do no have any idea what those are. ) there is not info aside some doc from intel. (On bios is called Thermal managment framework)
VSS errors are normal. on windows infact there are a lot of warning when windows 11 came those are present and those are related on other windows funtions that i am not entire sure how that works. but has to do windows security. VSS is a windows stuff responsable for backup solutions in windows for windows and by windows. and was present from long time and now are more since windows 11 has double the funtionality and more on the backup on the cloud. I have tips there. But have MY WAY that we can do with this aside
If you like. and have the time with me coordinated i need you to please let me know the following.
1. how windows usb boot drive was build. and how was added to the computer. If was done using windows media creator tool. fat32 format on the usb (UP TO 32gb) or ExFat formatfor more than 32gb. (running basic TB) OR yuou download the iso from ms and use rufus to make the iso OR downlod the windows iso from another place. (NEVER DO THAT)
2. on bios is UEFI and or Key Management are grey out?
3. What are the bsod reported. how that happens or doing.
4. This issues appear on windows windows creaton OR only on windows enviroment.
I can at lest have some idea and if you like I can colaborate a little at least to determine if is a hardware issue or similar. NOTE: I do not know what is this FAST START. I do know what is fast startup that is on System settings on shutdown settings. This i use a lot, and i have always disable that. this windows feature is from the old days, that personally on modern pc has to be gone. the fastboot what it does is create a cache so when windows start load a cache that was done when pc turn off. ( these is call C STATES) if this is disable windows turn off apps and shutdown complete. on the the old days when mechanical hd was use this was good but modern nvmes is not needed. this also help apps do better in fact.
If you have time reach to me here and we can sit and maybe try to id the problem with more info. i have help users on the discord full time for years. at least i can check with u other stuff as well.
Sorry for the long words lines.
Carlos
