Windows 10: No Audio with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 2009 10.0.19043

I'm running an HP laptop and sound and built in microphone stopped working. I've tried refreshing Windows - it fixed file explorer errors, but not the audio. I did something and got the audio working again until I restarted so I know it's not a hardware issue. I've narrowed it down to the drivers but I'm not sure which driver I should be using and how to properly install it so Windows doesn't install something over it again. When I run the Intel scan it shows the driver as RTKVHD64.sys v 6.0.9025.1Please advise. I've spent tons of hours trying to figure it out.

GPU-Z update loop (Windows 10 64-bit)

I don't have better steps - this is all, I have nothing to add.

Maybe it is worth noting issue was on Windows 10 Enterprise, build 14393.187, so maybe you should test on the same.
My other PCs have a different Windows 10 version - Pro, latest Insider Preview build from last week, and there is no such issue on those.
All are 64-bit edition of Windows 10.

This issue is not new. I have had same 1-2 years ago too, with older GPU-Z versions.

EDIT: And yes, I have Windows 10 UAC enabled and set to defaults. If you are using your Windows PCs with UAC off, you likely cannot reproduce this issue. *Smile

Compability of Asus H97-Pro with Windows 10 (64-bit)


I'm planning to have Asus H97-Pro & Windows 10 (64-bit) in my new system.

While cross checking compatibilty I landed on Windows Compatible Products List
and according to that Asus H97-Pro is only comatible with Windows 7 & 8.

Please suggest whether Asus H97-Pro is actually compatible with Windows 10 or not.

Thanks & regards,

Maria.
