Update: I thought the whole 'clean install' thing was overkill for every repair
Had a client in Tampa with a weird, slow laptop that every tool said was fine. Did a clean Windows install as a last resort after 2 hours of diagnostics. The difference was instant, like a new machine. When do you guys actually pull the trigger on a full wipe versus trying to fix the existing install?

Man, I feel this so hard. I was just like you, thinking clean installs were a last resort, but after a few of those mystery slowdowns I totally get where @terrymitchell is coming from. For me now, if the basic scans come back clean and the slowdown makes no sense, I just go for the wipe. It saves so much time arguing with Windows.
