Windows 10: No audio on laptop after April update

My laptop updated overnight Windows doesn't detect any audio device since. Internal speakers or plugged in headphones don't work, instead showing a "no speakers or headphones connected" bubble. I used Windows HD audio drivers on previous builds, and they worked just fine. Now they stopped working, and I can't install Realtek drivers, getting a "this operation requires an interactive window station" when trying to install via device manager, and 0x000005b3 when trying realtek setup file.
Things I've tried:
-verifying driver integrity with sfc /scannow
-deleting windows hd audio driver and installing realtek
-same but in safe mode
-taking ownership of Windows\system32\drivers and \DriverStore folders

Note, this laptop came shipped with Realtek drivers, but I've performed a clean install of win10 and they /shouldn't/ be here.

Intel E5200 Gets Updated, R0 Stepping Coming Up

Intel's Pentium Dual-Core E5200 processor is getting on course for a specifications update. The chip will feature in a new, improved Wolfdale-2M core, spec'd out as the R0 stepping, from its current M0 stepping. The new stepping is intended to add new instructions, power-management features, and bring about changes in the chip-package. A short list of known changes is as follows:

• CPUID changed from 10677 to 1067A
• Power State Indicator (PSI) support with Intel 4 series chipsets
• New instructions - XSAVE and XRSTOR
• New S-spec and MM numbers
• New halide-free chip package

Due to the changed CPUID, users may require BIOS updates to detect the CPU. According to the company, E5200 R0 should be out by April 13.

Windows 10 April 2018 Update(SCU) Partially Breaks MKV File Support?

I updated to main computer to the April 2018 Update, AKA Spring Creators Update, and it seems like they've taken a step backward with MKV file support. When I go into the properties of an MKV file on the Fall Creators Update, if I go to the details tab it gives me a bunch of detail about he media file, like resolution, framerate, audio information and bitrate. However, if I go into the same file's properties on the April 2018 Update, almost all of the information is blank, it only gives me a runtime and bitrate.

I really just want to confirm that this isn't just my computer and other's are experiencing the same thing.
