i used "snappy" to update the drivers so it should be ok.
Prolly not the best idea, you should always get drivers direct from the manufactures website starting with chipset first.
We can do this but keep that in mind, that one or more incorrect drivers may be installed, and your machine may never work correctly. Although they are installed and working, doesn't mean they are doing what they need to do correctly.
With that in mind..... Let's jump into it.
With
Geek Uninstaller, uninstall anything you do not recognize.
Then Click View--Ms store Apps:
Remove anything of no use to you from this menu as well.
Download
O&O Shutup Ten
Move it to your documents folder.
Right click run as admin.
Go to actions, apply all settings.
Create the restore point when prompted.
Follow thru the prompts, and reboot if needed to apply the settings.
Create and run batch file.
In Normal Mode.
Open a notepad and copy the entire content of the code box below.
Do not copy the word code!
Paste the txt into the notepad. Save the file to your desktop as
123.bat
Now you will right click the on
123.bat and
run as administrator.
Code:

Please download the file

Important: Ensure that you save all your current work, as this script will attempt to close all non-essential processes during its scan, including the web browser you are using to read this message.
- Right-click on PrivWindoze.exe and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
- When the tool launches, you may be prompted again to save your work before proceeding.
- If the scan does not start automatically, press any key on your keyboard to initiate it.
- The script will try to create a System Restore point and will go through several stages of scanning. Please be patient during this process.
- Don't worry if Windows Explorer closes; it will reopen once the scan is complete. This process typically takes just a few minutes.
- After the scan is done, the command prompt window will close automatically after 5 seconds, and you should find a log file named PrivWindoze.txt on your desktop.
- Please copy or attach the contents of PrivWindoze.txt in your next response.
