Windows 10: White noise after updating Windows 10 Pro

• I have a HP ProBook 470 G4 runing Windows 10 Pro with 16GB of ram and an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz. Last night windows did an update. this morning I find that all audio plays with white noise over it. the white noise is loud and I can barely make out the audio if at all. I have run my HP assistant and updated all drivers and still no change. This happened once before after a windows update and I was able to fix it by updating the audio drivers, no such luck this time. This machine has two audio devices and both as listed as OK. Intel Display Audio and Conexant ISST Audio and I have also repaired both of those drivers as well and are both listed as OK. Does anyone have any ideas as to whats going on and how I may fix this issue. Thanks in advance for the help and input and time!

White noise

Every so often when I open a window [new tab] my computer will play white noise (babbling brook, chirping birds) and I don't know how to disable it / turn it off. Suggestions?

 

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

 

Constant white noise audio

I constantly hear white noise from my headphones, I never had this problem tell I updated to windows 10, I saw there were other complaints but those were for earlier versions of windows. Thanks!
