    Version 1903 Broke My Computer


    So I am one of those guys who would prefer NOT to be forced to download Windows updates, and I have good reason: I use my computer all the time, and keep stuff up on it all the time, so being force-fed updates and rebooted every two days only results in me losing all of my work and generally getting extremely annoyed. One of these force-feeds was the addition of build 1903 to my computer on November 24, 2019.

    On December 7, 2019, I had my first audio latency issue, where I went on a commentary call with someone on a Twitch broadcast. That evening, I eventually closed and reopened my browser, and the problem sorted itself out. I thought that was odd, and chalked it up to a random occurrence that happened within Windows, not knowing at the time (as I now do) that Windows left problems related to audio latency in build 1903.

    In the last few months, in spans as short as, at times, a mere two hours and generally less than a week, I have noticed audio latency.sneak up and make itself prevalent during a session. As with updating, I find this to be a massive annoyance because I now have NO CHOICE but to reboot my computer to fix it, and not on my own schedule; in other words, resetting the browser doesn't fix it, and even playing a video in VLC will cause stutter. I have identified, in Windows Update, that I was force-fed the February 2020 cumulative update, but no other updates. From what I understand, this update was supposed to FIX the issue. Supposedly, the May 2020 update (which was installed - again, despite attempts to prevent updates - on May 18, a week and a half ago) was also supposed to fix this (I also have the March and April updates, which Windows is again making sure keep my computer broken apparently forcing everything on to me). The problem has only become more frequent. To be clear, I'm having audio latency problems on a gaming computer while a laptop that I have across the room (heck, hooked up to a TV) generally has no problems playing video, no latency, nothing. I even tried putting in a registry entry on the PC to stop the interrupts causing this, per another guide on the same issue, but that registry entry did absolutely nothing and the thing that it was supposed to disable stays enabled. What is broken in my gaming PC?

    As tidbits, I have tried much of the things at 10 solutions to fix audio lagging in Windows 10 (step 5 is also never saving the 16-bit setting that is suggested, always reverting back to 24-bit). Further, the 1909 update is sitting there begging for me to take it, but naturally, I don't trust this and don't want to have to figure out all of my settings AGAIN, especially after trying to reset my Realtek drivers and having a nuisance with THAT. I know sooner or later it will be forced down my gullet as well, however. But I also want to fix this issue before trying to install new updates. Will build 1909 fix my issues? Should I update something else first? Or am I just screwed? I have in a couple of other cases gone to start commentary and noticed latency mid-call but not able to do anything about it, and it leads to poorer quality commentary on my part. I also want to start streaming, and naturally don't want to stream poor audio. I really just want to fix this.

    :)

    Update version 1903

    When updating to version 1903, my computer gets stuck at 27% completed after 5 hours of updating. Can anyone tell me what is happening? Also, version 1809 showed on my list of failed installs and then it disappeared from the list. Was there a 1809?

    Version 1903 Broke My Computer

    Windows 10 Version 1703 Creator's Update Broke My Computer

    The actual programs themselves don't show up in a search. I do a search for sticky notes and it gives me the option to go to the store to install it. So I click on it and the store opens and says that it's already installed. Here's the screenshots in order of what I'm doing.
