Problems to record audio to Audacity after Windows 10 update to 1803/1809

Problems to record audio to Audacity after Windows 10 update to 1803/1809

HI!

My computer has Windows 10/64 1809 and a sound card from Realtek.

It has been impossible to record sound to Audacity (2.3.0) through Stereo Mix (Realtek High Definition Audio) after Windows 10 update to 1803, and it is still the same problem with update 1809.

Now I found out that Microsoft has changed the audio connection from Stereo Mix to Microphonefrom the Windows 10 update to 1803, without any information.

That means that I have to do following to fix it for Audacity: Start- Computer Adjustments- Security- Microphone- Change (accept microphone for this unit)- On

Now Stereo Mix will work for Audacity, and I can record sound from the web or other units, but there is still an echo problem when I listen to audio from my speakers, so I have to slow down the microphone input to max 25% or switch it of.

My question to Microsoft is: Why do you have to do this operation with the update of Windows 10 to 1803/1809 as I have described, which caused so many problems for me and other people, without any information?

Please give me an answer!

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

Win 10 1803 to 1809 update

Good day one and all.

My Desktop computer running Win 10 updated from version 1803 to 1809 a while back, but my laptop/notebook running Win 10 version 1803 (As of a Check for updates today 15 Nov 2018 6:30 AM) still hasn't updated to 1809.

I'm assuming the update 1803 to 1809 has now resumed after the earlier problems caused a suspension?

Updates in general on the laptop are coming through as available, for example, yesterday (14th Nov 2018) the "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1803 for x64 based Systems (KB4467702)" arrived and was installed okay.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks
