High Definition Audio Controller (Code: 10) Issue

Anonymous

Motherboard: MSI B360M Gaming Plus

OS: Windows 10 Pro

List of things I've done:

Downloaded audio drivers from MSI website

Updated my BIOS

Uninstalled and Reinstalled the High Definition Audio Controller

cmd commands: sfc /scannow & DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Completely removed all other audio drivers and installed Realtek audio drivers (Which for some reason never actually appear on device manager?)

I'd appreciate any help I could get.

It started happening out of the blue; I never downloaded anything.

    If your notebook has switchable graphics, update intel video driver and the problematic driver will became Intel audio driver.

    I tried many many things. 

    Solution that finally worked for me (don't skip any steps):

    1. Open device manager and Uninstall High Definition Audio Controller.
    2. Shut down (not restart).
    3. Unplug the power cable.
    4. Press and hold down the power button for 60 seconds.
    5. Plugin and turn on the laptop.

    I had been at it for the past 24 hours. This is the only thing that worked. 

    Many thanks
