No Audio Output (and Input) Device is installed? (Windows 10)

[doinurmop]

Hi there, so I was just updating my tablet driver and uninstaling one from a different brand, and now all of a sudden after restarting literally none of my audio devices are showing up and it believes they just don't exist, not even in disconnected devices.

What i've done:

I've messed about in device manager, removing and reinstalling, disabling, and updating relevant devices.

 

Ran audio troubleshooter which SAID it changed something and wanted me to restart my pc, and it did literally nothing.

 

Ran IoBit driver booster out of desperation (uinstalled after), which did nothing.

 

Manually uninstalled and reinstalled audio driver off of mobo website, which did nothing.

 

Tried to do a system restore point which failed in the process. Am gonna try again after this post.

 

Only thing I haven't done is reformat my pc.

 

I have literally no clue what's going on, and it's annoying as hell this is happening the day before I move for Uni

if anyone has any suggestions, they'd be appreciated.
