If the above doesn’t get close enough to allow specific error detection, you could try this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/log-files

Look again at the internal USB connection settings in Device Manager or the advanced Power section in Settings for the checkbox:
If you find this checked on any USB hub, uncheck it.

There are 2x possible Adobe products, one of which appears to match your error (Adobe GCClient, as pointed out by @b ) is the 2nd item down.
You could uncheck it – but, as well illustrated by the many copies listed as unchecked to date, the best way to remove a startup is to start that software then find and unset the setting to autostart.
I think a lesson on using Autoruns is needed soon to cleanup the unnecessary lines

Re. FAT32 drive/partition sizes, MS announced changes ~7 months ago that were being rolled out to Insiders on Windows 11: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-removes-fat32-partition-size-limit-in-windows-11/ I’ve not kept track of progress but I doubt Macs will be up to date yet.

Yes, we should all worry about people with access to our machines tweaking them to run cooler and quieter….
Better allow them to open the windows and wear ear defenders, so sneak thieves can relocate them somewhere safe?
Ring0 is the Windows kernel, some software must have access to portions of that to measure/control base hardware and settings.
Update if the software you use is actually required for your needs. Lock the door when you leave.

Gigabyte Control Center
Yup, that’ll be the most likely – and it could have bitten me too but I’d uninstalled it after not using it for a couple of months.

Not so easy – you’ll need to look for stuff like fan controllers, software that shows/measures temps/voltages/speeds etc. Many hardware/utility companies utilise it.
Probably best for you to list what you have in that range, if it’s only a few, which one runs automatically (Autoruns/TaskMan’s Startup apps tab… )?

C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\WinRing0x64.sys has been flagged up occasionally after utility driver updates for over a decade, maybe two.
I’d put it in quarantine for a while in case of some wag trying a double-bluff.
Virustotal (mentioned in the reddit thread) gives it the okay from almost all the major (read trusted) AV companies, but something (an update, new software using it?) has changed.
If you know which utility software it belongs to (there are many using it) then you can allow deletion of the driver and look for a replacement or updated software in a week or so.
