I agree that it seems to be one problem, but as far as I know I haven't done anything like that. All I can think of is that I remapped appdata, documents, downloads etc to a location on my D drive that died.

I recently built my first PC, about three months ago. I was pleased with it running well first try, but recently that has started to change. About a month ago, plug and play stopped working: that is, for anything I plugged into my PC, I would have to go into device manager to manually install drivers for it. Every time the device was unplugged, I'd have to do this again. I thought, fine, that's annoying, but it's not an issue that ruins my PC. However, more recently, my PC has been trying to run a windows update every time I turn it off, and its failed every time. Trying to run the updates manually produces error code 0x800703e3, which I can find nothing for on google other than a niche issue with certain HP laptops. After this I again decided to just get on with the problem, since I didn't seem to need the updates, but since then the issue has escalated: I now cannot install ANY drivers whatsoever, for anything. Most USB devices don't work properly or at all because of this, and it's really annoying currently with trying to get DS4Windows to work, and the fact that I can't use my integrated graphics because the drivers aren't installed. Whenever I try to manually install the driver DS4Windows needs, I get the registry error messaged attached. Some part of me remembers reading somewhere that the windows update error code points to the same error as the driver is describing. Perhaps unrelated to this, last weekend my 3 month old Seagate 4TB HDD decided to die. Maybe this caused it? I'm not sure. It looked like a software issue at first, but now I just think the drive died. As a culmination of these, tonight I decided to try to reset my PC using windows recovery. This too failed, in a manner reminiscent of the updates failing. These issues are becoming incredibly frustrating, and I can't seem to find anyone else with the same issues, especially the driver thing. Short of reinstalling windows and losing even MORE of my data, does anyone have any idea about what I could do? PC Specs: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC i9 9900K 32GB RAM RTX 2080 Windows 10 Pro

Found this crazy guy's exploits on hackaday: He had all his x16 PCIe slots filled, so decided, as anyone would, to cut up his graphics card (GeForce 8400 GS) with a dremel and change the pinout.
