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 ?

    No - but as per my original post way back at the beginning of this thread with this exact model I blocked the driver update by policy. installed a generic driver, completed the update when it was offered after a couple of dates. removed the block and let windows install the Conexant driver and it worked fine. laptop has been running without issues since.

    Has anyone tried to disable audio in BIOS on the Yoga Laptop (ThinkPad - Type 20CD) and use a supported small inexpensive USB audio interface from Behringer or Focusrite Scarlett to provide audio?  That way, the laptop can be updated. 

    Incidentally, I use the Scarlett on other laptops with condenser microphones and analog audio mixers when needed for video conferencing and the result is great and PC overhead minimal.

    to much variation in HW, WU gives my HW this version only!

    Conexant SmartAudio HD
    from Conexant
    v8.66.29.6
    10th Nov 2016

    I tried some latest versions through other sources but I guess they aren't for my HW, thus didn't got installed. MSFT Catalogue website isn't friendly to HW selection, I always loose hope over there. Plus, if an update arrives for my HW, then it would be pushed automatically?

    the halt exists because of a mess. Its my work PC here, don't want to take a "fresh-install" hit. I'm okay playing the time card!
