SYstem error 31 means:


ERROR_GEN_FAILURE

31 (0x1F)

A device attached to the system is not functioning.


It's very obscure to understand what it actually means.

You can try Npcap: https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases, it is a fork based on WinPcap and have built its own drivers. So it will possibly solve your issue.
