Windows 10: Error: A device attached to the system is not functioning

I have not used my HP Envy 20 in a couple of years and just spent the day updating it. I reset the entire thing and the sound icon at the bottom right has a red X. I tried troubleshooting and could not update drivers due to "A device attached to the system is not functioning".


I went online to the virtual agent and tried uninstalling/scan for new hardware as well as finding the BIOS version and restoring defaults. Nothing is working.


TIA
