Hello MichaelJ_Coppolino,

Fix this issue by uninstalling the drivers that DU installed and reboot. See if Windows Updates offer the correct drivers for you. Going forward. DO NOT use DU to reinstall or update drivers. Get the drivers and their updates from the OEM ( manufacturer website ) for the machine you are using it on. DU can brick a computer to the point where it won’t boot. Trust your OEM’s and Microsoft for your drivers.
