    The Feedback Hub is an App not a Link.

    Thank you for reporting. By any chance, did you add a Feedback Hub entry in 20H2? If so, please share the Feedback link so that I can send it to the relevant people.

    I downloaded and installed the 2009 update. Completely lost all sound. 

    Went to task manager--under System Devices a red X on Intel Smartsound SST OED. Normally in Task Manager under "Sound, Video and Game Controllers" there are five entries including Realtek HD Audio--all of them completely disappeared except the two Nvidia entries.

    Called support--we tried reinstalling the latest sound drivers from HP (I have a 17" Omen Laptop) and it said the drivers would not support this version of Windows.

    Finally the support guy had me roll back the update. Back up and running now on version 2004.

    Not fun.
