Windows 10: What happened to the audio troubleshooter in Win11?

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

Troubleshooting a sound problem deletes my audio driver!

If, for example, you run the audio troubleshooter then it might well suggest deleting your audio driver & replacing it with an MS audio driver as a solution. If this is what you did then you might find, as I did & have many others have done, that your audio works well using the MS driver.

You can search this forum to see reports of problems others have had with RealTek drivers.

I have absolutely no idea why you mention Windows defender in your post. Similarly, I do not understand what has happened to make you moan about MS as you do; you do not explain what the symptoms were or what steps you took so I cannot comment.
