Hello

"80070003" it usually means the "The system cannot find the path specified.".

It seems you have tried to analyze the issue by checking the cbs.log and setupapi.dev.log. If it is possible, please upload the cbs.log and setupapi.dev.log to the cloud drive and share it here.

According to the screenshot, please try the following steps:

1. Open administrator command line and run "sfc /scannow", "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" to check the health of system files.
2. Comapare with a known good machine then check whether there is any folder located here. It seems this folder has been missing.

C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\vhdmp.inf_amd64_2b3af30a2972d0c9
