Windows 10: Audio Drivers and Devices Missing after Windows 10 20H2 Update

Hello,


After MUCH trial and error and troubleshooting, I still am having audio issues on my Lenovo Thinkpad T420. It began with a red X over my volume button, and I further noticed that my sound devices are missing, and even my speakers both laptop and external do not work. I am aware that this version of Thinkpad does not support Windows 10, but everything has been working well prior to this most recent update. So far here is all I have done to attempt to solve these problems:

• Restarted my computer twice with no applied changes
• Did a system restore to days before my update 4/15
• Completed sound troubleshooting. Stated that my audio drivers were missing and that it could not find a problem
• Uninstalled Intel Audio and High Definition drivers, restarted, and then reinstalled latest Windows 10 update.
• Restarted audio services

I have been on so many forums and have done so far everything that I can. I don't understand. Yesterday evening I was listening to music from my external speakers just fine.


Note: After uninstalling my audio drivers and restarting AND updating, they are still missing!!!

:)
