Windows 10: Realtek audio drivers deleted/missing after latest windows 10 update (11/10/2018)

Drivers gone or corrupted after a windows update... getting quite used to this now.

HP 250 G6 laptop with Realtek high definition audio. Although the contents of the update (11/10/2018) do not refer to the Realtek drivers, mysteriously, and coincidentally, the speakers and output jack suddenly stopped working straight after the update - reason - Realtek HDA completely missing in the playback options.

Fair enough, easy to reinstall, providing you're computer savvy (direct from Realtek.com) but for many, this will be a trip to the computer repair man.

It all makes work for the working man to do!

Delete ‪C:\Windows\System32\DTSAPOUI64.dll, install again
If error still popup, just click ignore and run cmd as admin -> type regsvr32 DTSAPOUI64.dll

Use the original Realtek driver (not modded) and read tutorial on customize multiple audio effects with FX Configurator

One of the example is DTS Audio + Sound BlasterX 720
Or just load W10_Custom_CT_Dolby_UWP_DTS_Render.ini for DTS Audio + Sound BlasterX 720 + Realtek Audio Effects + Dolby UWP

The install step has been written on APO Driver post(link)
