have to reinstall windows every patch

[threephase]

yeah i tried that. uninstall ffxiv didnt help. after i uninstalled i did a windows search for ffxiv there was still a bunch of stuff listed under ffxiv. so the game left a bunch of stuff still on the pc.
i made sure nothing updated or new programs been installed from last time. i looked for new drivers there was none. the only thing that changed on my pc after install was ingame ui settings and boarded less window ingame.

im down to my wits end. the only and last thing i can try is leave all default game settings and leave ingame ui alone. and wait till next maintenance to see if that works.

all i do is re-install windows. update windows. install ffxiv. thats it.
i use my laptop for other crap. keeping my desktop just for ffxiv

i bet anyone with game issues reinstall windows there game would run perfect till next maintenance /patch.
