Hi there, my brightness keys, HDMI port when my monitor plugs in, and my webcam when it plugs in do not work. I have rounded it down to driver issues having consulted an IT department. Under Settings > Windows update, I have around 15/20 drivers that haven't updated and when I try to update it says to retry with "Install error" some examples are "Install error - 0x80070103" and "Install error - 0x800703f1". I was told that the only way to fix this is to reinstall Windows onto my computer as a bug must have occured during a windows update and the IT department did some digging and couldn't even find the source files for the drivers. I would like to avoid reinstalling Windows as it is a pain to re download all apps and stuff. Thanks for your help!

    Firstly, try run Windows Update troubleshooter, have a look at:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-update-troubleshooter-19bc41ca-ad72-ae67-af3c-89ce169755dd
    Then run Windows Update again and see if that solve the problem.
    If not, try visit your device's manufacturer website and download and install drivers from there.
