I've had my laptop for just under a year now, and throughout that year I've managed to mess it up on a level that astonishes me. I'm not sure how I messed it up, but after struggling with it by myself for a few weeks, I've decided to ask the community.
Problem 1: Driver issues
Ever since I accidently deleted my audio driver and had to restore my system to an earlier point, I've been unable to install any new hardware drivers. I recently borrowed a pair of headphones from my friend, but when I plugged them in, the driver wouldn't install and it's status went to "Driver not found. Needs troubleshooting". This also occurs with my Mp3 player. Troubleshooting finds nothing, and it's beginning to annoy me.
Problem 2: Metro apps will not open
After struggling with my pc problems, I decided that updating to windows 8.1 might fix any issues, but when I tried to open the marketplace, I was greeted with an error that prompted me to refresh my PC. Doing some research, I learned that refreshing my pc would delete all of my files, and I refuse to do that because I work using this computer. I've been told to turn on file history and create a backup, but my file history says I have no useable drives.
There are some other issues, but these are the big two. Any ideas?
