a request for device descriptor request failed

Maybe it's time to step back from the current efforts, and start over. I suggest you read over this excellent tutorial and try all of its steps: [Solved] Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) for Windows 10 - Driver Easy. The one that may provide you with some easy relief is the one where you uninstall the device whose descriptor is failing, reboot, and see what happens when device enumeration recurs during boot-up. If you're lucky, it will fix itself.

True core and memory clock on my GFX...what should I trust?

i have the list of nvidia core and shader steppings if you like, it shows the requested clockspeed versus the effective clockspeed.

 

Request Blocked

When trying to access Bing on Chrome, I get this message:

The request is blocked.

I've tried clearing the cache, deleting all cookies, disconnecting my VPN. There's no issue on Edge, of course.

NB: This form won't let me submit without selecting a product, and as it doesn't list Bing, I've chosen Windows 10, Apps, and Microsoft Edge--even though, as I said, THE PROBLEM LIES WITH BING.
