Windows 10: March 2025 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 KB5053598 Caused Loss of Audio

On March 11, 2025, I downloaded the March 2025 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 KB5053598. There were no issues until March 18, 2025. I was watching a YouTube video which I do on a daily basis and the screen went black. I could still hear the audio. I had to attempt a hard restart, which after pressing the on/off button on the computer caused a blue screen to appear stating 'Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart." The restart worked but then I had no audio. Once I uninstalled the update noted above, my audio returned. All my drivers were, and are, up-to-date.&nbs
