Windows 10 Update

[lordsummerisle]

My HP laptop just completed the latest update and now I have no audio. The Device Manager isn't showing anything wrong with the drivers. Any ideas?

1. Hp softpaq

Try down loading Hp softpaq.

It can offer up current drivers after checking your system

2. 3 possible fixes

(1) System Restore Roll back to before the update

(2) find your audio hardware in Control Panel and update the driver

(3) run Windows Update again (it sometimes fixes in layers)

3. Also

turn off automatic updating so that someone else can be Microsoft's guinea pig.

4. That happened to me two nights ago.

I am a tech moron and hardly use my desk top and use my tablet mostly. When I turned it on after not using it for over a month it would not start and trouble shooting with windows 10 kept saying I had so and so options, one was to go to settings and lose everything except my files. Since I do not know anything about this I was determined not to do what it suggested since I would not be able to figure out what I did and would have to pay a person to come and fix it which I can't afford. After over 1 hour of turning it off and on repeatedly and hitting the "troubleshoot" and "fix the problem" buttons it ended up finding the problem somehow and fixed itself. I think it is a windows scam personally.

5. Microsoft

has not had an innovative product in over two decades. I was perfectly happy with Win 2000. I even make my desktop, etc. look as close to it as I can. I especially hated the Win XP standard interface, based on the default color scheme used, I called it "The Fisher-Price interface".

6. Thanks for the tips

nothing wound up working (including a system rollback to a time before the upgrade) so I had to get Microsoft to remote into my system. They weren't able to fix it either until they downloaded a program called Driver Booster that provided two versions of the suspect sound drivers. I've got audio now...

7. My PC keeps telling me I need to update

And when I let that happen, it takes forever and tells me it didn't work. I have to sit through it removing all the changes and then it tells me I need to update. Lather, rinse, repeat and infinitum....any ideas. It's Windows 10 fix number 16900 or some such thing.
