Problems with UUSBrain.dll (lemmy.world)

I'm not sure when this actually started, but it's been mildly annoying. I'm not able to find any results online about what causes it, or how to fix it.

In the case of the screenshot, it appears when I click the "Health" tab of Wintoys. This error also sometimes shows up when opening the Settings app, and every time I launch Forza Horizon 5. The error always shows 3 times, one after another, then as far as I can tell nothing else happens.

From my research it has something to do with updating, but I'm not sure why it tries to load it in Horizon 5.

Steps I've taken (not in this specific order)

Tried every built in file system/windows error checker (found no errors)
Tried copying over an "older" version of the DLL from a previous update stack (required SYSTEM permissions, so didn't press further)
Tried repairing using Windows Installation Media ("couldn't repair")
Tried updating windows (no luck)

I'm trying here because I'm hoping maybe there are some helpful anecdotes that might be able to fix it! I am using a Ryzen 7 5800X, just in case this is caused by an incompatibility that I don't know about. I can provide more specs/information if needed :)

Edit: reformatted the steps I took, since it looks like it turned into a big wall of text (at least on Sync)

Edit 2: added the edit text 🤫

I think this DLL is part of an update package and running sfc /scannow might be a helpful place to start.

Are you running an insider build?

Unfortunately I've already tried that, many times.

I left the insider channel a while back, and I believe I rolled back to a non insider build after that.

Very strange. The only references to the version included in the path name come from insider builds.
