Windows 10: Realtek drivers keep reinstalling, even when I'm offline

I'm trying to figure out why this last Windows update introduced latency when playing Rocksmith 2014 through my Sony HT-CT390 sound bar via an analog connection. All other settings between the game and the sound bar remained the same, so I decided to focus on the mess that is Realtek and its drivers.

Things I did:

1) Disabled my network adapter (to ensure I'm offline)

2) Went to Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Hardware tab -> Device Installation Settings -> selected "No"

3) Uninstalled "Nahimic mirroring device" (no idea what this is) and "Realtek(R) Audio".

When I rebooted, both of those showed back up under "Sound, video, and game controllers" like I never uninstalled them.

I'm specifically looking for "Realtek(R) Audio" to be replaced with the older "Realtek HD Audio" (assuming this is my issue), but this is driving me insane. How does Windows keep reinstalling the drivers on me?

8. Click on the Realtek HD Audio mod folder and look for win64
9. Click on the HDXRT4 and click ok,
10. Click Next and Yes

I'm not sure about the steps thought!
You mean, updating the realtek driver manually by selecting offline files? But I completely uninstalled realtek from my pc. Now there is only 2.
Can you just write the steps in short?(Only to get an idea!)
