Dialogue box pop up

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I’d suggest you to reset OneDrive and check if the dialogue pops up. To reset OneDrive:

1. Press Windows key + R together to open
   Run.
   
2. Type %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset and press
   OK. A Command window may appear briefly.
   
3. Click on Start icon, and type
   OneDrive and press Enter to manually launch OneDrive.
   

Note:

1. Resetting OneDrive disconnects all your existing sync connections.
   
2. You won’t lose files or data by resetting OneDrive on your computer.
   

You can also refer this article on
OneDrive is stuck on “Processing changes” and check.

If the issue persists, I’d suggest you to contact OneDrive support.
OneDrive issues are supported by in-app support team, hence you need to contact the team for assistance with the issue. Follow the below steps to contact the OneDrive support team.

Audio socket dialogue box

Dear Jon,

Thanks for the detailed instructions.

Concerning Method 1:

First, Windows Key + X - Control Panel does appear in the list.

I accessed it by Typing "Control Panel" in the search field next to the Start Button on the Task Bar.

Then after selecting "Hardware and Sound" the Realtek HD Audio Manager does not appear in the list.

Apparently this is a well known issue with Windows 10. I have not taken steps to resolve that issue yet.

Concerning Method 2:

I have followed your instructions carefully but it did not resolve the issue.

I was able to resolve the issue of getting the Audio Popup Dialogue Box to reappear in the following way:

Windows Key + X then I selected the Device Manager.

From the "Sound, video & game controllers" I right clicked "Realtek Audio" and selected Properties.

In the dialogue box that appeared I selected the Driver tab and clicked on Update driver.

I clicked on "Browse my computer for driver software" and "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"

Then I selected "Realtek Audio" and clicked Next.

Windows then reinstalled the drivers.

After doing this the "Which device did you plug in" dialogue box appeared when I plugged something into the audio socket.

So the immediate issue of getting the dialogue box back is solved but the Realtek HD Audio Manager still does not appear in the list of Hardware and Sound from the Control Panel. Any advice you can give to resolve that issue I would greatly appreciate.

Thanks for all you help so far. I hope this finds you well.
