Windows 10: Devices Touchscreen, speakers, battery indicator not working after Windows 10 update

Hi,

My son's Thinkpad 10 tablet installed a Windows update on 25th December. Since then the touchscreen, speakers and battery indicator icon are no longer working. I have discovered that they are not shown in the device manager standard view, only appearing in the "show hidden" devices view. I have tried reinstalling the drivers but no change. We installed the latest Windows update yesterday hoping that that would solve the issue but no change.


Any ideas on what to try next?


Many thanks!

:)

 

[SOLVED] Windows 10 Realtek 'Speaker Fill' not working

Found a solution.

#1: Close Nehimic (setup does not auto-close it) and uninstall if it is installed.

#2: Uninstall Realtek drivers. Restart computer when prompted. When your computer comes back up, Realtek will be running off of Microsoft's generic HD Audio driver.

#3: Follow the directions here to prohibit Windows Update from reinstalling the Realtek driver.

#4: Open "Sounds" then "Playback Devices," select the device from the list and click on "Configure." Follow the prompts.

#5: Right click on the device and select "Properties," then "Enhancements," then check "Speaker Fill" and apply. If you do not see "Speaker Fill," repeat step #4 and make sure to pick a choice that has more than two speakers. "Apply" the changes.

#6: Start playing audio. You will have to restart the program if it was running in order for the change to take effect. Your stereo music should now be playing as Stereo Surround! *Big Grin

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?

Hi Rachael,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works. This issue could be because of the Headphones BT SPEAKER Stereo being set as default. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Pair the speaker with your PC.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers
  and right click on your Bluetooth speaker (BT SPEAKER Stereo).
  
• Choose Disable and acknowledge the confirmation popup. Wait for the screen to refresh.
  
• Right click on the same device again and Enable.
  
• Exit Device Manager and see if the issue persist.
  

Regards,
