If it seems to be all clear, then I should be fine. Thank you so much for the efficient help and a peace of mind! Live long and prosper.

Hey, thank you immensely for helping! The Asus Armoury Crate software is something that tags along even when resetting windows, I suppose it mainly provides some external sparkle like a keyboard backlight or a flashy way to inspect some statuses, I didn't have the actual App that supplies the graphical interface so I wonder if that was the reason for the timeouts. Uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have stopped errors regarding timeouts. The keyboard backlight is gone which is a shame, but if some Asus - Windows 11 compability issues (I think that originally the laptop had win 10) where causing system errors , bugs and instability, maybe I'm better off without it. Anyway, seems to be buggy software, so no hackers there I suppose. I tinkered with the DNS settings so that the server should now be picked manually. Also ran the MS safety scanner every now and then and the end results would always seem promising. I've yet to bloat the machine with all my favorite Apps so scanning was pretty fast. Is this computer good to go? I should use it for practical learning in a few days and I definitely wouldn't want be a man-in-the-middle or such ^^ msert.log

I've very recently formatted my computer because I experienced lag and some network issues, like being blocked by some services utilizing Cloudflare. The windows would also occasionally report weather conditions and etc from a different location than my city. But now it's a fresh win 11, so it seems fairly responsive and light to the touch, but I'm not sure if everything is still completely fine. I ran MSERT and it suspected one infection mid-scan, although afterwards it reported the system as clean. When I open task manager, the CPU usage is at around 50% and then drops down to 2-4%. Empty paranoia I should suppose, but the following does worry me, I've only had the fresh system for around 12 hours, yet there's already 8300 events in security logs of the event viewer consisting of for logons and special logons, timestamped even when I'm particularly using the computer and it's just sitting around. This in particular worries me because I am the sole user of the computer and the network, at least supposedly. I ran the Farbar and Malwarebytes scan. FRST.txt Addition.txt mlwrbyte.txt
