I have never seen Driver Pack Solution 14, and not seen any device by that name. If you have a device by that name, expand the properties and make a screen shot of the device. Post that here.
Look in Programs and Features and see if it is there. If so uninstall it.
I have not seen anything like this so it may be a virus also. Scan with your Anti Virus.

I do NOT use these, I get drivers from the manufacturer only.

Ok
While it is by no means always true, non-manufacturer 3rd party drivers may not work and may wreck a system.
I could amplify my answer a bit. Lenovo provides drivers for my ThinkPad. Lenovo also supplies these drivers to Microsoft, only late. So a Lenovo update may install driver 1.6 and Windows may revert it to V1.5. This has happened. I stay with the Lenovo drivers.

But if it's a built up system????
I would use brand name parts for a built up system and then drivers would come from the component makers. Windows does not provide updates from white box unbranded components and it is hard for driver providers to do better. There is a VEN code in the device that can help the driver provider. Nonetheless, a person would use these at their own risk.

Go to Devices and Printers and see if any printers are not working. Delete the printers and delete the drivers in Printer Server Properties. Restart and reinstall the printers.
