What zbook says isn't correct, this snipping tool can't be used since it isn't accessible.
The test is a bootable test that runs outside of Windows.
The RAM cannot be properly tested within Windows, within Windows no test can use everything of the RAM.
Several parts in the RAM are protected (read and write protected) which prevents the rest of the processes (or rather threads that are actually doing all the work, a process is only a container for threads), except for Windows processes with the right privilege, to access it or write to it whereas a RAM test needs to read and write to every part of the RAM to test it for failure.
I finally got it done it, I was so happy to see 8 passes to be able to use my computer again

Ah makes sense I was bit confused to how I am going to use snipping tool there, I thought he might be referring to some screenshot option within memtest itself which saves it on the USB stick but I didn't see any so I just took a picture again
Windows is up to date with build 15063.413.
Memory testing met 8 runs with 0 errors.
Please confirm that bitdefender software was uninstalled using the bitdefender uninstall tool.
Please confirm that there have been no bsod since the bitdefender uninstallation.
Vsserv.exe is a part of bitdefender. It was a faulting application and that should now be fixed:
What is the vsserv.exe process?
There were other faulting applications.
iprosetmonitor.exe is part of Intel wireless.
As a preventative maintenance step this can be uninstalled and reinstalled.

Was the bitdefender uninstalled on 06/24? Was that also that last bsod?

Yes, I uninstalled and also used the tool after that, I really didn't expect it would end up being Bitdefender. Is windows defender any good these days to primarily only use that?
There haven't been any critical errors in event viewer or BSOD crashes (I added an updated attachment)
Regarding Intel pro wireless, I don't have it installed physically in one of the PCIe slots or built into the motherboard itself, the only time I used wireless was with my phone in tethering mode which caused Explorer and control panel to be very unresponsive. Funnily enough, it gets fixed moment I disconnect my phone. I ended up following a guide on youtube updating the driver of something on already on the PC itself (it was under networks "Remote NDIS based internet sharing") it was changed to a generic Microsoft version.
Should I still go on installing an Intel pro wireless driver?
What is this "DCOM" error that keeps popping up since ages, I have been seeing that for years now even back when I used Windows 8.1
See if this tool gives you more options for intel drivers:
Intel® Driver Update Utility
Download Intel® Driver Update Utility
I am currently downloading the latest update (KB4022716)
It tells me no drivers were detected for your product. I'll just grab the latest version I can find on my motherboard's site and install it.
I am unsure if it's a newer version than the one I have installed, ironically it ended up being an older version than the one I had installed. I find it a little funny as I installed the driver from that very place as well.
Is it possible it auto updated itself?
Windows by default is set to automatically update non-Microsoft drivers. It can be modified.
This tutorial has some more details about turning off the Automatic Driver updates in Windows Update:

Regarding the Distributed COM errors, I also have a few of these but I generally ignore them - it does not seem to be a problem.
