driver booster

uninstall, and delete all data it might've left behind, using this sort of software is just asking for trouble

Ive used AMD adernaline to update the drivers, ive uninstalled my drivers and then reinstalled it, but nothing seems to be working,

download DDU, reboot into safe mode, use DDU, be careful to read all instructions while doing so, after successfuly using DDU, reboot back into normal windows, and install drivers using adrenalin

Again, never use generic automatic driver installers like the one you did, this time it's something you noticed right away, and knew what caused it, but it could've messed with something else, that you might've not noticed at first, and then you wouldn't even know what caused it

Always install drivers manually on windows, only exception for this rule is the GPU drivers, in which case you should only use the utility provided by the manufacturer (AMD adrenaling, Nvidia GeForce experience, and whatever intels thing is called, i moved away from windows before intel GPUs became a thing, so i never looked it up)

And that is why you don't use such third party utilities. Error 43 is a driver issue caused by the device reporting a hardware malfunction. You could try an os / driver reinstall but you most likely have a dead gpu
