Windows 10 Feature update (to 2004) Conexant driver Issue

Thanks for that quick reply. Both bluetooth and the internal mic when headset disconnected work fine. Though I don’t have a bluetooth headset that I can rely on for video conferencing, and I couldnt figure out a way to ıse the built in mic when I connect the headset. I can wait a few days to get the update without a mic, but after I get the update and download Conexant drivers, won’t it cause problems like crashes, since that is the reason that Microsoft blocks the update in the first place. My initial plan was to never go back to Conexant drivers.

Anyways, I don’t think I need the update too desperatly, so i can wait, i think they will sort this out when the 1909 end of support date comes.

Still no fixes. About the registry block fix: I followed the steps, added registry key and uninstalled Conexant drivers. Now my Computer only has Windows generic sound drivers, and the Conexant driver doesn't gets automatically installed, as expected, BUT now I have a different problem. Now the microphone part of my 3,5 mm combo jack does not work. When I plug my headset in, sound comes perfectly fine, but the mic of the headset does not work. No voice input detected by any program (tried with the windows voice recorder, discord and zoom, and yes the mic of the headset does work on other devices). I just removed the registry key to get the Conexant drivers back to have a working mic, which worked, and now as you may have guessed no win 2004 update for me. I think I have to wait till the issue gets resolved completely and properly, but it has been 1 year since the 2004 update, and no fixes, like are you even trying?

That is unfortunate! 

Have you tried using a bluetooth headset? You might gotten the microphone working with a Bluetooth headset with built-in mc. 

If a working mic is essential for your daily work then I can understand the inconvenience. I guess living with the inconveniences for just a fee days to get the update might have been worthwhile. I don't see microsoft fixing the issue anytime soon or maybe ever.

"Make it a Conexant-Happy new Year please Microsoft!!"

I don't see it happening anytime soon. If it really was the case Microsoft would have done it by now. 

A lot can happen if you install a driver that is not your manufacturer and device-specific, and BSOD is one of them.

Unless you install drivers specific to your manufacturer and device that complies with the issues listed on this doc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-2004#known-issues , you won't be able to update to 2004 or 20H2 version, with the Conexant drivers installed on your device.

This all looks well and good, but I just want to turn my Lenovo Yoga laptop on and for it to say update to 2004 or 20H2 available!.

I have tried other allegedly suitable Conexant drivers and they just cause blue screens!

Make it a Conexant-Happy new Year please Microsoft!!
