Windows 10: recording disabled with 1803 update

After installing 1803 update all audio editor software I usually use get disabled. I mean Audacity and Cool Record Pro. I decided to reinstall Realtek 2.81 drivers that are well compatible with 1703 but no result. New version Realtek 2.82 driver also doesn’t work. I couldn’t find any recording driver that works with 1803. Audacity's diagnostic mode indicates the driver ID: 1 and Stereo Mix is OK but audio rates are empty.

I reinstalled both applications and drivers several times but had to restore a backup made before 1803.

Can I disable the 1803 update permanently? System: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD7 from 2010. I installed the generic Realtek 2.81 and it worked well and solved the problem.

Realtek recordings disabled after 1803 Update

My recordings using Audacity and Cool Record Pro have been disabled after the 1803 update. I reinstalled the Realtek 2.81 drivers, which worked fine with 1703, but no joy. Next, I installed the newest Realtek 2.82 drivers, but the same failure symptoms.
Neither application can use the recording driver, which is Realtek's, Stereo Mix. Audacity's diagnostic shows the driver ID as 1, and the correct name Stereo Mix, but the available audio rates are blank. I haven't found any issues with playback.

I also uninstalled/reinstalled both applications multiple times, as well as the drivers. Realtek 2.82 is the newest driver available, and both 2.82 and 2.81 work with 1703. I've restored a backup made just prior to the 1803 update, and am now functional.

Is there any way I can permanently disable the 1803 update? My system board is a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD7, purchased in 2010. The manufacture's audio driver stopped working with the previous update, so I installed the generic Realtek 2.81, which fixed that
issue until now.

Thanks,

Dennis

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.
