Updating to Windows 10 Version 2004/Conexant Drivers

I approve khaiphan idea if it works for SycrJohnny it should work for DisplayNameWasTaken. If not you can just rollback to your previous windows version. To extract the exe file download and install 7zip

My Toshiba Satellite P50 has updated to 2004 today. I did not do anything to the laptop other than check windows update. I wonder when it will get the October update. I notice that some drivers have an issue date of 2019 now eg audio inputs and outputs.

So far everything seems to be working

I am on 20H2 now after signing up for Windows Insider.  I have that level running on 3 Win10ProX64 systems.  Only one of them (my 'daily driver' so to speak) had the conexant issues.  I did nothing overtly to bypass the restrictions to get 2004, I simply went to the Windows download and installed it in spite of it having reported issues.  I have seen no issues in about 1 months worth of daily usage.  My one disclaimer is that I'm not a gamer, I use my laptop for MS Office and Firefox surfing mainly.  I sometimes watch Amazon Prime videos too along with a couple of Zoom sessions.

My opinion is that the conexant issues for the 2004 update will never be resolved.  The limited resources that Synaptics (the current owner of the conexant drivers) has devoted for this will probably spend their time on whatever comes beyond the 2004 update.

Hi texgeekboy

Well, conexant issue is gonna be resolved it just takes time. don't worry microsoft or someone else will bring the solution. we already have one solution gave by someone in page 3 of this post.

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to tell all of you that I had the same problem with my Asus GL552VX, but I managed to solve it.

The blocker is mainly the Conexant audio driver, as there is no update yet in most of the laptots... but for Lenovo laptops.

What I did is download the Lenovo driver from here, Instead of installing it using the setup wizard, I selected the option "Extract only".

After extracting the package, I went to the device manager, selected Conexant SmartAudio HD, clicked on Properties and in the driver tab, I clicked in the update driver button.

In that wizard, you need to select to search the driver in your disk and later go to "choose from a list of drivers in my computer"...

Choose have disk (or use disk, I don't remember the exact english text), and go to the directory where you extracted the driver previously (within that directory you will need to navigate to WIN\AUDIO\20202908.1013083\x64), make sure to untick the show compatible hardware option.

This driver might tell you that is not signed or validated for your device, you can ignore that warning and go forward.

This driver is updated with versions not affected by the bug that MS states in his page for 2004 update, so, if the driver works fine (in my case worked like a charm), this will unlock your computer for 2004 update.

If you have any issue with the audio, like it not working or something else, you can always return to the previous driver version through the device manager.

What you can do later if windows update still does not offer the update is go to this page and download the MS update assistant, which will override Windows update.

This procedure worked perfectly for me and now I have Windows 10 2004 installed for a week now.

Hope this works for you guys as well...

Cheers

Hi, i have almost the same notebook (gl 552vw). Did you receive the update from Windows Update or did you install it manually with the update assistant?
