Updating to Windows 10 Version 2004/Conexant Drivers

Anonymous

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 so much for you reply. I just have one request for clarification. You said you removed the driver (uninstalled the device/delete driver) but followed with "and with the driver installed". Did you mean "uninstalled"?

As i have understood from his comment:

He said he tried to block the Conexant driver auto installation by windows update through registry blocking method by adding some registry value.

But that didnt worked (meaning the drivers got installed eventually despite blocking through windows registry)

Then he removed the registry key that he added to block the auto install of the drivers. Then let the drivers got installed by windows update. And then with the drivers installed upgraded to version 2004, and it seem to work for him without any issue so far.

Hope you did got it now. Cheers.

So it appears that the net, after backing out the changes you made for blocking [that didn't make any difference], was that you simply uninstalled the device and then ran Update. I have done that several times and it has made no difference. I wonder what it was, in your case, that looked different to MS Update?

Oh well, maybe there's something else going on with this HP All-in-One.

Thanks, both of you, for your reply.

I'm not sure that you understand my original post. MS Update does not come into the situation.

Basically, what I am sayng is that if you ignore the blocking methods etc and just update with the conexant driver installed using https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 and "Update Now" it worked for me.

If you try this make sure you have a System Image Backup and a Windows Installation USB in case of problems.
