Windows 10: Intel Display Audio Driver causes "instability" when trying to install 1809

I have encountered this issue in trying to install the October Update. I do not understand the steps recommended by this article. What is the appropriate thing to do? Apparently Microsoft and Intel both recommend that you do not click "Continue".

No audio device is installed (How to fix?)


Since you uninstalled the Intel Display audio and you no longer have audio, that suggests you are using HDMI (??) If this is the case then the Realtek is not being used and not causing your problem.

First step as mentioned is to reinstall the Intel Display Audio.

 

Intel High Definition Audio Driver

I had installed 1809, but it waited to appear until the first cumulative update. My problem was that the audio driver was Replaced with nothing. That's the reason pressing the volume keys didn't cause anything to appear.

 

Missing Intel Display Audio after 1809 upgrade


I have probably very similar, maybe exactly same problem. Intel HD stopped work after last W10 updates.

In computer is Intel i7-7500U (Intel HD Graphics 620), installed is W10 Pro 10.0.17134, Intel driver 25.20.100.6326

Before that, there was older version of this Intel driver, i tried remove device and detect it again, update driver trough Device Manager, update driver by "Intel Driver & Support" and tried some Intel utility. It updated driver for Bluetooth and WiFi, but not for audio and it still don't work after all that attempts.

There are no error messages in logfiles.

And that's all. Driver seems to be newest as possible but W10 still says "Cannot found any sound device", analog audio output is silent, HDMI audio doesn't work either. HD audio in device manager is detected, but Windows cannot use Intel driver for it and i don't know why.
