I let snail update the drivers and windows found a new device. I rebooted and device manager still shows that unknown device in other. I uninstalled the unknown device from device manager and did a reboot and checked snail again for new drivers. The unknown did not return.
Another way to check drivers & evaluate/test, if needed.

The scan was running for several hours so I left it overnight. When I returned to check if it had finished the system had crashed at some point and rebooted. I am unsure if the scan finished but I did find a log from overnight. The contents are below. I don't think that was my original scan as it shows rootkits as disabled. I will try running it again.
The E: in this system is an older 2TB mechanical drive that shows good SMART in HDD sentinel. It has data going back at least a decade. I'm wondering if it is failing or has a corrupt file on it.

What would be causing the MFT errors on the C: drive? That is a brand new drive from when we refurbished the machine.
Step 2: Please download Dr.Web CureIt and save it to your Desktop. DO NOT perform a scan, until you get it on your desktop. If your default download location is not the <b>Desktop</b>, drag it out of it's location onto the Desktop. (If this is not possible, this program is portable, and runs right from the location it is downloaded to, like a USB drive or SD card.)

I ran Malwarebytes again and it found 4 threat files on the storage drive and removed them. CureIT found nothing. Here are the links to that scan log and the CureIT log:

This turned out to be defective ram. It never failed memtest but we swapped it out for other memory and the problem went away.
