Once again, to reinstall you must first erase the drive. Boot with the installation media. Select Repair My Computer and get to a Command Prompt. Run these commands:

  1. Diskpart
  2. List Disk
  3. Select Disk 0 (That is Disk zero)
  4. Clean
  5. Convert GPT
  6. Exit

Restart and boot with the Windows Media once again and install

Let me know the outcome.

Installed some drivers and Windows Update said it had no updates for me. While it restarted Windows said updates taking place. Upon startup the taskbar was missing again with a blinking screen. Went to safe mode through recovery to check taskbar settings. The taskbar is set to be displayed. The option to show taskbar on all displays is greyed out. Tried to uninstall the last windows quality update which failed. Tried to uninstall the last windows feature update which also failed.

Press the Windows logo key + I to get to Settings (or select Start and Settings). Select Personalization. Select Taskbar ->Taskbar Behavior. Set the hide Automatically hide options to Off.

Have a hospital procedure tomorrow so may not be around much.

 

i did check the taskbar settings, it was set to be displayed. The option to show taskbar on all displays is greyed out. I did fix it but it took awhile. Updates restarted the laptop. If it starts okay I will run those programs and post logs. 
windows security will not open, or would not. It says now, Updates are underway. Please keep your computer on.

You cannot download third party programs, but until Windows is completely stable. Just Windows Updates and Asus Drivers. You do not need tweaking programs or Security programs at all. These are not needed:

I know you are desperate to have a system working, but you must follow instructions as we will installing Windows every day.

You will need to start all over again.

Do not download browsers or other software, except for Windows Updates and Asus. Third party programs will do changes to your configuration, and all will fail. Wait at least a week to download other browsers, only if you do not like Edge. Tweaking programs are out of the question, as well as Antimalware products at this point. Defender will protect you.

So, start all over again and have that commuter running without a hitch.

I understand and can start over but the issue is this, every single time I format and do updates the taskbar is set correctly every single time but it goes away.
With the taskbar gone and screen blinking, I cannot even get to recovery or safe mode. Safe mode gets hidden or disabled, and often so is recovery so in order to fix the taskbar I need a program to do so. Run gets hidden, so I customize the desktop so I can get around. If these programs weren’t installed I would not have been able to fix the taskbar, or boot to safe mode. This last time I was lucky and recovery wasn’t disabled yet. 
It literally has happened every single time without exception. 
Windows Security has also gotten disabled 75% of the time. And Windows Firewall. There’s no reason they should be getting disabled. I sure am not doing it.

Anyway, I will try to start another format before I have to leave, or when I get back around 8pm pacific. Thank you.

Updated Microsoft store libraries. Intel drivers all still give errors. Desktop froze and went dark. Upon restart it booted to recovery. Set a system restore point just before this and had to do a system restore. 
The Intel Graphics Driver and OpenGL/Vulcan settings hotfix both downloaded through myasus. At least one installed by Windows Update. Not sure which drivers are left that I need. 
updates say they are finished l downloaded some programs after all was done, but I’m not opening or installing them until I am positive driver installation is finished. 
How can I tell which drivers I need? Several of the drivers for my model laptop at ASUS said my pc is not compatible
