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 not at all 😁 

    Microsoft drivers are available for your audio device if Conexant drivers a blocked by you.

    You’d better wait for an update to the official driver, tweak your windows to get the latest update just to access the few new 2004 features and you’ll regret this one day or another when your os will become unstable

    just a quick question, after doing all the steps so you block the download for the Conexant, etc. when you finally put 2004, then will it update that or you end up with no audio, etc? but you just "got" 2004?

    So a "solution" perhaps for those who don;t need their sound card!

    does it mean that you end up with no audio?

    Thanks for your clear instructions. they worked perfectly for me. 

    After I updated I reloaded the Conexant drive and all was good.

    For note I have a Lenovo Ideapad 300 running Windows 10 Pro.

    Yes. since I disabled driver installation prior to the 2004 update, Windows doesn't install any driver for audio device during the upgrade process.

    Therefore after you have upgraded, it is important to disable the restriction and let Windows apply the audio drivers.

    In my case I am using Microsoft High Definition Audio Device driver v 10.0.19041.264 dated 09-05-2020.

    I continue to block the Conexant driver 8.66.95.69 as I am not sure it could cause issues, and also I don't feel any difference between the audio from my laptop or headphone jack with the Microsoft drivers. So I am satisfied.

    I feel this is what Microsoft should be doing, instead of us jumping through the hoops. 

    If they find incompatible drivers, they should let users know and seek acceptance to upgrade using Microsoft drivers.
