Windows 10: Audio Service issue. Any help?

Ever since an update on Oct. 19th, my Speaker/Headphone audio wouldn't load at all, and then a day later, my Bluetooth audio failed as well on this computer (but it works on my phone). I tried everything to fix this issue until i looked at the Windows Audio service. It stopped running. I tried to start it but the Start option is grey and unusable. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? I need help with this as soon as possible.
