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 ?

    Hi again all, I finally tried the "blocking method" after changing my driver to High Definition Audio Device. I have tried so many ways to get the update and nothing seems to work for me, every time I try it gets to almost the end of the update and then fails! It reverts to my original setup after rolling back the update.

    Having tried to update over eight times I'm at a loss now and fear I will have to wait for MS to provide the update.

    The driver is:  Conexant , Dated  8/9/2015,  Version 8.66.16.59

    My device hardware ID is : HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_510F&SUBSYS_1043157F&REV_1001

                                               HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_510F&SUBSYS_1043157F

    I have googled for another suitable newer driver but can find nothing for my device ID.

    Hi Bigestnumpty

    I found a recent Conexant audio driver package for HWID:

    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_510F&SUBSYS_1043157F

    version 8.66.95.70 dated 10/16/2020 from MS Update (posted early December 2020) - (download the cab package from this MS link)

    use 7zip or any other file archiving tool to view the contents of the cab file, extract all files inside and use Device Manager to update the Conexant driver to v8.66.95.70 and restart the computer.

    edit - searching on the MS Update Catalog site with ID "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_510F&SUBSYS_1043157F" would show many Conexant audio driver versions up to version 8.66.95.69 but not the 8.66.95.70 version.

    Yes, it's back to Conexant drivers but no issues so far. As others have said, Conexant drivers would be an issue during the update but not afterwards.

    Yes, on both of my Lenovo laptops. Both with no problem for a couple of months now.

    Has the driver reverted back to the Conexant one?  Mine did, as I think others have reported, but it still works.

    Hi, I have Lenovo E470 with Conexant drivers. After waiting for a long time for W10-2004, I decided to do what many others have done - in Device Manager, update those listed Conexant drivers to either Generic software drivers or Microsoft HD Audio Drivers. Sound / mic continues to work. Then download / ran Update Assistant. W10-2004 updated with no drama.
