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 ?

    I would gladly upvote it, but it seems that firefox can't handle the link.  Is this a MS Edge thing only?  Or some type of app?

    Thanks for this post, which I have found tremendously helpful. I have discovered a different method of installing the generic Microsoft driver which other people may find useful. The steps are:

    1 Disconnect from the internet.

    2 Uninstall the Conexant driver using the process you have described.

    3 Reboot, when prompted. At this point the Microsoft driver (which is apparently already present) will be installed. Since you are disconnected from the internet, the Conexant driver cannot be downloaded.

    4 Apply the audio driver update block using the process you have described.

    5 Reconnect to the internet.

    At this point you are good to go until a feature update. As you know, when a feature update takes place, the audio driver block will prevent both the Microsoft driver and the Conexant driver from being installed. My expectation was that all I would have to do was disconnect from the internet, remove the driver block, let the MS driver install and then reapply the block. But this isn’t quite what happened. When I dropped the block, The Conexant driver was installed – it must have been downloaded with the update. But that’s no big deal. If you want to continue using the MS driver you can just repeat the steps above.

    Of course, many people may prefer to use the Conexant drivers since they don’t appear to cause a problem post-update despite what Microsoft says. But I would rather use the MS driver. At least if the next feature update is blocked (and it’s not far off) I will know it’s not the Conexant driver.

    Are you using 64 bit Win 10 Pro?  I have an HP Envy laptop that is right at 5 years old.
