Windows 10: Audio not working after recent windows 10 update (2019-04)

Hi all,

Hope you can help as i'm not having any luck troubleshooting this myself.

I turned on my PC today after Updating (2019-04) and shutting it down last night.
I noticed that my Audio device is no longer working.
Check in device manager and i can see two exclamation marks for "high definition audio controller" and they both have errors stating;

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API."

Screenshot:



I have tried the following;

-Uninstall drivers in device manager, Shut down, unplug pc from power - turn on again : same issue
-Manually uninstall/install Realtek HD drivers : Seems to change nothing
-Ran SFC /scannow and chkdsk /f : no errors found
-Checked windows audio service : running and set to automatic start

-Windows troubleshooter : can't find any issues other than "there might be a problem with your audio device" (no ****..)

-Checked windows updates for new drivers : i have the latest drivers

-Tried to remove the 2019-04 update : no change



info:

- new pc (i've literally had it for a week. fresh windows install)

- everything was working fine last night before i did an "update and shutdown"


what is going on here?


Regards

Igor

Office 2019

Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

Microsoft Office 2019 will only work on Windows 10

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

 

Microsoft Office 2019 Will Run on Windows 10, and Only Windows 10

Windows 7 went out of mainstream support on Jan 15, 2015.
Windows 8.1 went out of mainstream support on Jan 9, 2018.
And I doubt anyone on Windows 8.1 would mind too much upgrading to Windows 10. I definitely would not *Big Grin

They are supporting only Windowses currently in mainstream support. For Windows 10, they seem to have moved the support model to the bi-annual updates being supported for 2 years and more recently 1.5 years.

Has it been said if Office 2019 will actually work on Windows 7/8.1? Supported and actually working can be different things. Kind of like the "on supported hardware" comment above.

 

Creative X-Fi Soundcards and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 = Complete Disaster / Not Working

Thank you for trying to help , i did tried your suggestion but it did not work :/ , nothing seems to make it work on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709. In the meantime i have bought a new SoundBlasterX AE-5 and it did installed flawlessly , no problems whatsoever. it is up to Creative ( drivers ) and Microsoft ( bug fix ) to fix this huge bugs with Audio.
