Did you do the undervolt in the bios though? If you did just reset it back. If you didn't doesn't matter what you do in the bios, as its a kernel mode driver doing it at boot.
Know the feeling, I've got my 'chuck it in the bag just in case' laptop at the moment being used as my Omen went pop. Takes 6 times as long to do anything on that than it did on my previous, and gord help me if I need to see if things render correctly, transfer it to my server and test or over...
Usually happens when you have a corrupt user account, 2 fixes re register the appX files, or create a new user and delete the old one, try first option first.

Buying a custom pc is just that, custom, meaning it has to be made, global delivers suck at the moment (especially from China/Taiwan) and if you want one next day, great, but guarantee won't be as close to the exact spec you want.
Eg mines cost me just over 2k, for the same I could have got a...
How did you undervolt it? Bios or with throttlestop/XTU?
If the latter boot into Windows in safe mode, and uninstall the application, or find out what the kernel mode driver it uses is called, and remove/rename that file so the undervolt can't be applied at HAL initialisation. Should stop it...
Welcome 😁 most people forget that Hyper thread only helps in heavily threaded stuff, single threaded it deffo worth getting the 15-20% native core performance back
👍
If you want to use it regularly do yourself a favour and get a decent webcam, if it's every blue moon, I can live with it below screen, one of my dell ones had it and used to not be too bad.
They have the DTR products in the 15.6 ones, but they are meant to be getting some 4000 series a ryzen chassis soon, and bet one of them will be 14,might be worth ringing see if they have date for the Renoir parts becoming available.
basic overclock of AMD looks super easy from what I've seen (basically unlocking the locks AMD forces the board partners to enable by default), getting the absolute max out of AMD can be work though. Plenty of Videos on youtube, the usual suspects LTT/GamersNexus/DeBaur all good sources.
but...
Bugger, would have bought you a bunch of processing capability for single threaded stuff.... How all the extreme overclockers get their core speeds ;)
Just looked at your board information, It's under "Advanced CPU Features" in M.I.T.
Yeah, will work great for that, just the L2 Inferno (as long as you don't mind the look/specs as they cannot be changed) is a cracking deal (https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/configure-review/348/)
It would cover most of your bases, and leave you a couple hundred quid for any potential upgrades
And don't worry about 1000w, an over specced PSU is infinitely better than an under powered one, it will run more efficiently (saving money, very small amounts, but hey) and quieter, just because it can create a 1000w, doesn't mean it is all the time ;)
Trackpad, you should be able to tell windows to disable it on mouse detection and change the palm rejection settings. I'm not sure which pad is in use on that chassis
