Thank you for posting back.
I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. As you've performed relevant troubleshooting steps and the issue persists, this sounds like software driver related issue. However, Windows 10 has a reset feature that repairs your computer by reinstalling the operating system. let's reinstall the windows operating system to isolate the issue.
