After the sextorsion email I received I decided to restore the whole
partition from backup just in case of any nasties (which I now know I
didnt need to do).

Anyway my first attempt at restoring a backup made in 2019 failed at the
windows login screen, so I tried an older one and that to had same problem.

So instead of trying to figure out why I tried a fresh install from a
Windows 10 Pro installation disc.

This installed and I was activated however the machine started freezing,
I was stumped. So I tried to restore from backup again and this time it
worked.

The machine no longer freezes. Strange that a completely fresh install
would freeze and a more up to date backup wouldn't.

If you ever want to reinstall windows, it's better to use the install
tool on this page:

Thanks for the advice. This episode has got me off my lazy ass as I’ve
created a new 2021 backup. There was a large Windows update since my last
one in 2019 which took awhile to install.

My guess is that the "backup" (if it was a system backup rather than just a
data backup) had all the right drivers, and the fresh installation hadn't found
them yet.

Yeah I meant a full partition backup not just data. You may be right but
its a hell of a pain trying to download and install drivers when the
machine keeps freezing.
