-Sorry for the length of this post, there are a lot of problems and I do not know what details are relevant.
A few days ago my games started to drop frames dramatically after a few minutes, then crashed with an error message which couldn’t be seen through the black screens. When I went to open geforce and the nvidia control panel (as it is very out of date, as is my driver software), neither would open. A bit of fiddling around and a system restore later, none of microsoft office worked in addition to the photo gallery, my antivirus and steam games, none starting up nor showing error messages (chrome and discord had similar problems but worked after a reinstall).
After a windows repair install, the games seem to be behaving as they did at the start, photo gallery and my antivirus is working again, but microsoft office returns an error stating “AppVISubsystems32.dll” is missing - both the office repair and uninstall from programs and features run into errors 30034-4 and 30015-4(1006) respectively, geforce experience won’t start (type initializer for system.componentmodel.designerproperties threw an exception), nor any nvidia product’s installation. Most fixes to these seem to be reinstalling, but most of these cannot be either installed or uninstalled, and either way the sheer amount of different programs with errors strikes me as there being a much bigger problem - whether the thing blocking apps starting and the thing tanking then crashing all games after two minutes are even the same (perhaps it’s blocking something else key to running the games)
An additional note, my windows product key was rejected, the system was custom built a few years ago on PC specialist, the key is stuck onto the side of the case, I have had problems with the key before, I cannot remember how I dealt with it originally.
Could someone please help if they have any ideas/suggestions?
Also, if there is nothing else do be done, is there some way to perform a complete factory reset? (I have copies of the important data I just need the hardware)
