After updating to Windows 11 on my 6 month old laptop, my audio files take 20 seconds to start or they do not start at all. This also causes a delay in videos starting whether the file is on my computer or a website. Has anyone else had this issue.

    Agreed. Have reported it as spam after googling Anydesk.

    So when I took it out of the box and immediately updated Windows, I did it wrong? Gotcha. I'm not going to let a stranger take control of my computer.

    Hello, of course the problem was solved lonnng ago. I have nothing to do with Microsoft, just letting you know that the audio delay is a matter of updating Windows 11 versions properly and a matter of updating same computer trademark as well.

    If you need help, let me know, we can do it through AnyDesk.

    This problem IS NOT resolved. I bought an HP i7 all-in-one PC from Costco and had this issue. After troubleshooting everything possible on the web and with HP tech support for three hours, they determined that it was a faulty headphone jack. So I exchanged it for the exact same machine and the new one has the same problem. This time, I tested videos in between Windows 11 updates, and just before the third to last update, it started delaying the audio again. So, it's a Windows problem. This is why I use Apple for everything and my PC and Android devices are for testing purposes only for my business. Windows and Android are garbage. Always have been. I walked away seven years ago and walked away from most stupid problems like this when I did. What a nightmare to have to come back to this. It's worth the extra money to buy Apple devices. Their standards are so much higher than this.
