  1. Media Driver Missing


    Right off the bat, I'm on Linux Mint, trying to install windows again for a dual boot. I've already made sure the ISO is no corrupted, (downloaded twice, built a VM with both, even tried windows 8, all have the same problem) I've tried the unplug half way through method, doesn't work. In my UEFI my SATA uptions are AHCI or RAID, I keep it as AHCI but I'm not installing to a SATA drive anyways (NVMe) If there is a legacy USB thing, I can't find it. Tried with a USB 3 drive in a USB 3 port, a USB 2 port, and a USB 2 drive in a USB 2 port, USB 3 port.

    Ok so how I got to this position: I built a new computer a few weeks ago, spec list at bottom, put in an NVidia GPU and installed drivers, long story short it didn't work as expected so I switched back to my AMD GPU. Tried uninstalling NVidia drivers but something got left behind and was significantly reducing my GPU performance. I took ownership of my system32 file, and deleted all NVidia folders and files. That fixed all performance issues, next day partway a warning saying I needed to activate windows popped up in the bottom right. I spent quite some time trying to fix it, couldn't run the troubleshooter, got this error 0xC0000022, from what I could find, it was because a software security service or something couldn't run without the right permissions, tried everything to get it to run, giving ownership of system32 back to TrustedInstaller, system, myself. Couldn't get it to run. Reset windows but kept my files. Didn't work. Hard reset windows, didn't work. Downloaded linux mint to try and fully remove windows before reinstalling, then dualbooting keeping mint as a sort of backup, something that should always work. Downloaded the ISO from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10ISO right clicked on the ISO and clicked make bootable USB stick, setup a 120GB ntfs partition on my drive. Doesn't work. For confirmation that the USB's work, A) When I first built my PC I installed windows 10 with my usb 3 stick. B) I've run gparted and ubuntu live off both sticks. I've reinstalled my UEFI version 2 incase that matters, didn't do anything.

  3. Hp Envy Driver missing

    Hi Mohsin,

    • Are you referring the missing driver as the High Definition Audio device
      with a yellow mark in the screenshot?

    This issue could have happened due to corrupted driver files. Let's try reinstalling the driver and check if the driver can be recovered. Follow the below steps to re-install the driver.

    • As you are already on the device manager, right-click on High Definition Audio device, and select
      Uninstall.
    • Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

    If the issue still persist, I suggest you to run the hardware troubleshooter and check if the issue is resolved. Follow the below steps to run the Hardware troubleshooter;

    • Type troubleshooting in the search tool.
    • Click on Troubleshooting tab.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
    • Select the Hardware and
      Device options from the list.
    • Click Next to run the Hardware
      and Device Troubleshooter.

    Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help you.
