Windows 10: No audio after windows update

I shut my computer down last night and windows updated before shutting off. This morning I see that an "audio service is not running" error next to the little speaker on the taskbar. I reinstalled the driver, but that didn't work. After looking up some info, I found in "Services">"Windows audio">"Log on" the "Log on as" was set to some account and password so I reset it to "Local system account" and the error is gone. The problem now is that I still have no audio. Anyone know what the problem could be?


Two more things:


1. I see that the "Windows audio" in "Services" is dependent on the "Remote procedure call (RPC)" service and that service's "Log on" tab is set to "This account" instead of "Local system account". I can't change it and I don't know if this is normal, but I thought it might be worth noting.

2. I see in my windows update history an driver failed to install today. I'm not sure if that's something I did or if it's windows.
