"The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load" but trying to fix it seemingly doesn't work

[chopinanopolis]

So my PC has been rebooting randomly since I built it in early feburary. Haven't figured out what caused it after half a year of trial and error (event viewer shows Machine Check Exception; Cache Hierarchy Error). Haven't tried this. I'm sorry if if I dont fully explain everything. Basically, the WudfRd driver fails to load for my headset (HyperX CLoud 2), I've seen others with the same issue, and its been causing reboots for them aswell. When trying to fix it I get stuck though. I was trying to follow this guide, but the issue is Windows Driver Foundation doesn't exist in my services, then I tried to fix that, which led me to this guide. The issue with that is

that this pops up when pasting the commands into command prompt. I don't know what to do about this. The only asnwer I've found online seems to be copied from the website I got the command and guide for, so nothing actually about fixing this specific error that pops up, only things about specific porgrams lacking the file, but the file in itself seemingly doesnt exist, and its no specific program that brings up the error, its trying when trying to actually add windows driver foundation

Have you tried CCCleaner to remove left overs from programs and drivers??

Would be helpful to fill system specs in your profile or list them here. This was a common failure of AMD 3000 series AM4 processors.

Sorry, yeah. I added my specs to the post. I'll add them to my profile aswell. I currently have a 5600, so still am4 but not a 3000 series

Ah, thank you. I'll have to read through those. The first one is what I followed, thats when I had the error pop up.
I avoided that last website cause I thought it was incredibly sketchy, so thank you for linking it, I'll probably have to downlaod the dlls from there then

Also, is there a specific version I should download from the site? I downloaded the first file, but it still says it cant find the dll when trying to register it
