I have not only done a complete clean install, but I have:

- Factory Reset my system
- Installed the very latest Nvidia drivers
- Turned off game mode and anything with overlays, including Discord
- Have absolutely nothing else causing conflict
- Clean installed DirectX

The only change is that Windows Creator's Update has been installed. This problem did NOT happen before it, and my graphics card is absolutely brand new. I just had it replaced because my last one was messed up after creator's update and kept sending my laptop into a restart loop. This is NOT happening with any other game. Just FFXIV. The problem is on the client's side for certain now, and I don't know how I'll play Stormblood if they don't fix this.

The problem is fickle and keeps happening regardless.
