Windows 10: Problem with audio driver

Ever since my most recent system restore on my device, I have been experiencing issues with my audio driver. I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall the audio driver, but when I try to reinstall the driver the driver is not even found in my list of programs. I have a Toshiba Laptop Satellite P55t-A5116

Troubleshooting a sound problem deletes my audio driver!

If, for example, you run the audio troubleshooter then it might well suggest deleting your audio driver & replacing it with an MS audio driver as a solution. If this is what you did then you might find, as I did & have many others have done, that your audio works well using the MS driver.

You can search this forum to see reports of problems others have had with RealTek drivers.

I have absolutely no idea why you mention Windows defender in your post. Similarly, I do not understand what has happened to make you moan about MS as you do; you do not explain what the symptoms were or what steps you took so I cannot comment.
