25h2 Update forcing GPU to not be recognised by apps/games
As per title, this only recently happened with the up to date update from 5 days ago (I believe it was 5 days ago) and after this I noticed while trying to load up Subnautica 2 like I had done normally it was laggy and crashed, strange.. other games did the same (except some older DX9 titles), so I load up 3D Mark and noticed some of the test said I am not running compatible hardware not seeing my 4070 Ti Super.
I reinstalled windows to a 23h2 state, and for 2 days no problems, then I thought ok maybe it was a silly glitch and then updated to 25h2 yesterday and everything was fine, until tonight it happened again, while playing I notice a sudden drop in fps and there it was again the same problem 3D Mark not recognising hardware but the day before it did, and Furmark doesn't even load.. and I noticed in Event Viewer some dll files are not loading either.
The NVMe drive is fine no errors.
This only happens in 25h2 and I am at a loss, because for a few months I was running 25h2 fine.
Any insights or if people have experienced this and had fixes that would be great.

So further, I have managed to sort out the issue with the GPU just being delisted as viable hardware, it seemingly was surrounding Secure Boot Certificates for some reason, not sure why that happened with the latest update.
But now I still get random startup errors for apps or games starting, the PerfDiag system failing to load right away, it's as if there is a large latency when starting anything (large in terms of tech not in perceived time)
Some DCOM problems too. However they do run fine without any issues. But the fact the problem exists is worrying, no hardware issues - fully tested Mobo, CPU, GPU, RAM, NVMe drives.I do use drivers from Nvidia directly and not via Windows Update. I have managed to change things, for some reason Secure Boot Certificates were wrong so reset them, which stopped some errors regarding SB, but recently I have been getting .dll failing to load errors when running apps or games.
ntdll.dll for the games, usually common for Unreal titles.
Various dll's for apps
They do run, but it is rather annoying that they keep failing.
Hardware has been checked, tested and error free. As said this has only happened since that last patch from MS.Download the latest NVIDIA GeForce drivers directly from the NVIDIA website, not via Windows Update. Use NVIDIA's Clean Install option during driver installation to remove previous driver remnants.
