Here is a CURE of this disease---- Real issue is outdated CONEXANT audio driver, check your pc if you have installed it, UNINSTALL IT, it get installed with Sennheiser headphone software or may be other audio driver would have installed it.

If you use Sennheiser headphones then uninstall its driver software and then restart and open update and wait it will install everything, make sure you have not connected any other device except wired mouse, keyboard and monitor. I AM SURE REMOVING SENNHEISER DRIVERS WILL HELP 100%. After update you can reinstall those drivers. Hope I helped you. If you don't use Sennheiser then uninstall any headphone or external audio driver and only hit and try will help. It's just driver issue. Thank me later. Ask me again if you can't fix it

    Hello Paloma,

    I have the problem that you identified Microsoft Windows MCT tool as a solution.

    I downloaded and ran it. After a few minutes I pressed the minimize button on the screen thinking I could maximize the window again from the task bar. However, the program does not show there.

    How will I know that the program has completed the download and that Windows version 20H2 is ready to install?   

    Thank you.

    Ghani

    Just a heads up - I had to deactivate updates for 7 days and restart my computer because the update somehow was running in the background.

    But then it worked as it should.
