Through Google I have checked everything in my computer and my connectivity.
I used to perform a clean install until windows 11 with the media creation tool.
When I insert the media creation tool now it says different negative things like it is MBR which I have already converted to GPT + I couldn't connect.
After weeks of conversing with Asus In micro center I am stumped.
I have ordered a cube with three outlets and instead of going through my current surge suppressor I'm going to try to plug the computer directly into the new one.
Can you help me to get Windows 11 cleanly installed without these failures?
When I boot I get a no signal then signal. I have tried different ports and cables. My current cable is VESA certified. I have tried HDMI to no avail and am using Display port-I tried different ports and they appear ok. The screen shows display port. There appears to be a connectivity issue but I am no expert
TY

You’re welcome, Peterr.
If you decide to try the Windows 11 clean install again later, the fastest way to get it solved is to post one photo of the exact Windows Setup error screen (the one that appears right when it fails). That single detail usually determines the correct fix immediately.
Whenever you’re ready, just reply here and I’ll walk you through it step-by-step.

That’s completely fine — Windows 10 is still a very comfortable choice if you prefer its layout and workflow.
If your goal is a cleaner desktop on Windows 10, here’s the easiest setup:
That hides everything without deleting anything.
If your goal is a cleaner desktop on Windows 10, here’s the easiest setup:
Simple clean desktop setup for Windows 10
1) Hide most shortcuts
Move desktop items into a few folders:WorkPersonalAppsTemp
2) Pin your main apps
Instead of keeping app shortcuts on the desktop:- Right-click the app
- Choose Pin to Start
- Choose Pin to taskbar
3) Use the desktop only for temporary files
Try treating the desktop like a workspace, not storage:- keep current files there briefly
- move them later into Documents, Downloads, or another folder
4) If you want it extra clean
Right-click the desktop → View → uncheck Show desktop iconsThat hides everything without deleting anything.
5) Tidy the taskbar too
In Windows 10:- Right-click taskbar → Taskbar settings
- Turn off icons/features you don’t use
- Enable Use small taskbar buttons if you want a neater look
If you want Windows 10 to look really nice
A good combination is:- simple wallpaper
- few desktop icons
- pinned apps only
- taskbar cleaned up
- a minimal Windows 10 desktop setup,
- a productive Windows 10 layout, or
- step-by-step help to make your current desktop cleaner.
