[SOLVED] Windows 10 Cannot Load Display Driver and Configuration Registry Database is Corrupt

[SkyCaptanio]

Recently I noticed that I was unable to change brightness on my laptop screen which led me to checking the device manager. The Intel(R) UHD Graphics 360 Display Adaptor has a warning sign and says:

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

{Path Not Found}
The path %hs does not exist."

Upon trying to update the driver however I received a different error saying:

"Windows found drivers for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install them.

Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630

The configuration registry database is corrupt."

I then tried to search for new Windows updates to see if that would help the issue, but the updates failed with Error 0x80248007.

I have followed the instructions in the Forum Posting Instructions. SFC and DISM scans both completed successfully, SFCFix said it did not find any corruptions. I have attached my CBS file as instructed.
I'm not sure if this is multiple different issues or if I'm missing something, but any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi!

Step 1 - Replace Drivers Hive Manually

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

1. Download DRIVERS.ZIP and save to your desktop.
2. Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
3. Now we have the DRIVERS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
5. Right-click on the current DRIVERS file and select rename. Rename it to DRIVERS.bad.
   Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
6. Take the file from the Drivers folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config

All should be well afterwards.
