"Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)" #

I've seen "sfc /scannow" suggested so often and seen it actually work so rarely that I tend to skip it when troubleshooting (especially given the inordinate scan times). However, today it fixed an exasperating "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)" error that refused to budge otherwise. Thanks to Egarcia's post in this thread which finally convinced me to give it a try.
