I updated the drivers, made sure the game was using the nvidia graphics, and did a second clean install. At this point the following happened:
First login try got stuck. Second and third tries let me in after five or six seconds of loading wheel, however both times made me agree to the terms and conditions again. Subsequent login attempts went back to endless loading wheel. This was all in the span of a couple minutes.
I cross-referenced some dates and I can now firmly date this issue as starting after the maintenance of 6/28, when I tried to log in later that day. Prior to this I had no issues.
just want to confirm the windows version your running
if you press the windows key and type winver and press enter what version does it come back with
Sure thing. (I really appreciate you taking the time to try and solve this, also)
You have a minor bug on version reporting but that is just a cosmetic issue
the dxdiag shows an old insider version if you look and compare to the version reported in winver they are different
Now back to the issue at hand , is there anything unusual with your internet connection like at a uni or scholl etc , have you tried using a internet connection way different to yours say at a friends house ? to see if the issue persists, in case there is a partial port block on your router/modem for example
edit: also take the system to a clean boot to try and eliminate as much as possible on the system itself https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd
No unusual internet, just at home as normal. I'll be at a friend's this weekend so I can test it there, I'll get back to you on that and the clean boot.
I did try reinstalling the game via Steam this time, and it does seem to have a better ratio of being able to log in: N Y N Y N Y N N N Y N N Y over twenty minutes or so. But it's also still making me re-agree to the terms every time it does go through and still not finding any sort of pattern on when it works or doesn't.
