That's what it sounds like to me too. Like you, I would have thought
factory replacement under warranty would be the most straightforward
option.

I asked IT support if they could give me a new unit
and swap in my hard drive to see if that resolves the issue. But they want
to delete my Windows profile then recreate it, which means that I'll have
to set everything back to the way it was. I am trying to avoid this.

What do you have to set back the way it was? What are the most painful
parts of that? And, if that's bearable (and better than putting up
with wonky Outlook reminders), the fact that your support people at
least seem willing to go this route means it might be your best
option.
