    This app can't run on this device  Windows 10 Update Assistant 71605b77-f6e2-46e9-b398-4b2001f18fcc?upload=true.png


    I get this appearing on screen after boot up. Then it will randomly appear while the PC is running. If I walk away I can come back and see 45+ windows with this error message have appeared and I need to close them.


    It is affecting my PC performance and unfortunately after 2 support calls to Microsoft the best they could suggest was to ask the community.


    Looking for an answer


    Thanks

    :)

    Creative X-Fi Soundcards and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 = Complete Disaster / Not Working

    Thank you for trying to help , i did tried your suggestion but it did not work :/ , nothing seems to make it work on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709. In the meantime i have bought a new SoundBlasterX AE-5 and it did installed flawlessly , no problems whatsoever. it is up to Creative ( drivers ) and Microsoft ( bug fix ) to fix this huge bugs with Audio.

    Kind Regards: Chispy
