Updating to Windows 10 Version 2004/Conexant Drivers

So what do people with computers with Conexant drivers do? Windows Update says update drivers but there are none acceptable, it also says Microsoft is working on a fix ? So what do we do? If there are compatible drivers for devices using Conexant Audio where are they, how do we get them and install or replace them (I have tried everything to no avail). When does MS expect a fix ? Are persons with Conexant audio drivers computers at end of life ? Does anybody care ?

    Thanks for your reply. It is good to know that I am not alone in my quest for an updated Synaptics audio driver.

    Since I manage a number of affected laptops - not just my own - I will wait until an officially tested fix is available. I have to weigh the downside of missing out on the 20H2 version for now against the risk of blue screens due to audio driver incompatibility. Even just one person losing data is too much. From my experience with DOS and Windows, I have learned to be very cautious about video and audio drivers especially when PC's are used in a business setting.

    I have a HP envy x360 notebook with the Conexant audio ISST drivers.  Since 1909 updates expires in about a month, I decided to try what I read previously.  I still get the block on windows update. I used device manager to disable the Conexant audio drivers. I did not delete the drivers. I did not reboot since that would have reinstalled the audio drivers. Went to the windows web site used the update for 2020 H2.  It installed without any problems. (It took a very long time for the installation to complete). Following installation I checked device manager, the Conexant audio drivers had been reinstalled and everything worked fine. No audio problems or other problems. I used windows update to install the 2021 updates to win 10 2020 H2. 

    PS: I made a complete backup of my 1909 installation before starting just in case major problems should occur. Didn't need it. 

    Thank you very much, Jon,

    I exactly followed your recommendations and after a long update-process I got the latest Windows version 2020 H2 on my ASUS Zenbook. It worked great and the Conexant drivers are working fine.

    PS.: Of course I have also made a complete backup (without needing it).

    I just left the Conexant driver in place and kept waiting. The 20H2 update finally happened without any changes on my part. The same driver is still there and working fine.

    Windows showing a warning that the version 2004 is soon to be end of life, and the Conexant fix is not raedy: MAArch 2021. I will try replacing the conexant driver to a generic one to get the update... doing developer's work for windows instead of for my projects.

    Hi,

    I have an ASUS UX310UQK, I've been stuck on 1909 for some time too.

    I noticed my driver was updated to 8.66.95.70 (chdrt64.sys has version 8.66.95.0) some time ago, though I don't how when

    However, last week I just tried a windows update on UCI64A231 and got version 7.231.4.0, which is above update requirements (231.3)

    Theoretically, I should be able to upgrade to 2004 or 20H2, I've been checking daily but it's not been proposed to me yet, but there is definitely something in the work.
