Device had driver_power_state_failure and now drivers won't stay installed

Hello, I have a computer that had DRIVER\_POWER\_STATE\_FAILURE (0x9F) BSOD. I did sfc /scannow and DISM, neither helped. It continues to try install updates in Windows Updates and drivers (Bluetooth, net) which are not sticking. Once I restart and check windows updates they're there to be downloaded and installed again.
I did reset the windows update service, restart the computer, checked event viewer for anything awkward.
Where to start?

this solves one problem while creating another so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what changes the context.

Bluntly speaking, the direction makes sense but the details are messy so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s the impression it gives me.

From the outside, the way this is presented changes how it lands That’s the key detail here. Others will probably see it differently.

Bluntly speaking, this feels more about execution than intent Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
