Plug and Play: error 2 (cannot find the file)

[MrsHydrargirum]

Hello! I'm new here and I really hope you can help me, as I cannot find a way to solve this problem.
The fact is that I cannot play sounds anymore on my pc, the icon doesn't even show up on the right corner on the screen.
I have tried to go to the services.msc and start "windows audio" but it says "error 1068" something like there is a dependence group that cannot be started.
So I checked the dependeces and I found that Plug and Play cannot be started (error 2: cannot find the file).

I have already tried to restart the computer at a previous salvage point but it didn't solve the issue.
Is there a way to install/download the files needed from plug and play to start?

Thanks!!
Hydra

plug and play

Hello MrsHydrargirum, Welcome to 7 forums. Under services.msc is Multimedia Class Scheduler on

automatic startup, also Windows Audio Endpoint Builder automatic startup, and Plug and Play automatic

startup.
