Strange cause like I said, I've been doing this for literal decades and can count the number of times I've had to reinstall windows on one hand, with a few fingers to spare. 50+ windows machines at any given time at work for 15+ years. Every family members computers for 25+ years.

Never had "code 56", but doesn't seem like a hard fix: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/solvedunable-to-update-network-drivers-error-code/e34e928d-53a1-4bfa-b2c9-7157352b728d

One hand.

With fingers to spare.
