Windows 10: Audio Problems after win 10 updates version 1909

I am having audio problems which coincide with the last batch of win 10 updates . Before these updates the Audio on my PC was working fine. The problems have been consistent for about the last 2 weeks these being Audio dropout when playing MP3 files and also when watching videos of say You Tube. Sometimes I have had lots of Popping and clicking as well I have tried using the troubleshooter to resolve this following there advice but it does not appear to work. At the moment the main faults are the Volume goes to a default setting of 67 and will not allow me to reset it as I wish and is now automatically switching off and when I was in the trouble shooter on the speaker properties I got the following message” The device you are configuring has been removed” From other sources in the net about audio problems with win 10
I have disabled the gaming application and the Fast boot up. For a while about half a day the fast boot up disabling worked but sure enough the problems came back however it did seem to eliminate most of the crackling and popping issues

My system is based upon a ASUS P8H61-MX motherboard operating system using win 10 x64

Installed 09/10/2019
OS Build 18363

Are the audio problems I am having likely to be down to win 10 upgrades as before I did not have these problems

User.000 issue after updating to 1909

I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:

• Rebooted at least 6 times
• Enabled hidden Administrator
• Booted into Safe Mode
• Changed ProfileImagePath
• Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
• Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
• Rebooted and had temporary profile
• Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
• Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
• Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
• After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
• Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

 

upgrade to Windows 10 version 1909

I have the same problem as MICJMA22. (I might mention that I have no PAUSE or DEFER set.) However, I don't see any "above steps" for updating manually. Can you post these steps??

Or as in one of your other posts at Windows 10 pro 1903 will not update to Win 10 Pro 1909
(January 19, 2020) in which you mention having seen some comments via Google about the "Download and install now" button for "Feature Update Windows 10, version 1909" no longer appearing and some mention of possible compatability issues, you said:

"So, it sounds like MS is trying to fix a problem that will not allow update version 1909 to show up. This problem was caused by a previous MS update.",

would you now recommend waiting to see if the Feature Update, version 1909 Download and install button appears on its own later?
