Windows 10: Headphone not detected Windows 11 2024

Hi,This problem only started recently, but my windows 11 laptop suddenly doesn't detect my wired headphones. I tried searching up how to fix this problem such as running the trouble shooting tool, installing updates and drives but nothing seems to work. The headphones work on other devices such as my phone but not my laptop. I don't think this laptop has been damaged in any way. Is there any way to solve this as I prefer to use wired headphones over wireless with my laptop.Thank you.

Headphones Not Detected

Wasn't sure what topic to put this under.

Windows 10 refuses to detect my headphones from my headset. The mic is fine. The computer even recognizes when I plug the headphones of the headset in. But it refuses to detect them. I can go into my Sound in Control Panel all day, and there will NEVER be any
headphones in that list. So, no, I cannot click headphones, just making that clear before someone suggests clicking on headphones.

How do I force Windows 10 to detect the headphones that I have plugged in, so that they will work? The jack is working fine. When I plug them in it gives me the pop-up letting me know that I plugged something into the jack. But that's the end of it. It will
not detect the headphones. Nothing comes out of them. There are no headphones in the Sound list. There is nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Why does it register something is plugged in and then refuse to detect it?

Someone please figure out why Windows 10 simply cannot detect headphones and help me fix this so I can use my headset.

 

Workstations not detecting 2024-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 or 11

Hello,

We have multiple workstations that do not detect 2024-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10/11 but these workstations detect 2024-04 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 / 11. Any idea what could cause this to happen? It seems rather bizarre because I'd imagine both updates come from the same source right?

Thanks,

Paul
