Windows 10: Windows 10 update breaks audio

This has been a problems for years now. I have scoured the internet for a solution and no one seems to have the answer. Windows forces my computer to update breaking the audio jack, I revert back to a previous version of windows, and the cycle continues. I have tried uninstalling my drivers and reinstalling them with no luck. I tried troubleshooting and looking for ms support posts, but none tell me anything new or helpful. It all feels so hopeless. I never had this problem with Windows 8.1 or any other prior version of Windows. I don’t know what more to do. Is there anyone out there that can provide a solution? Please, I just want my computer to work again like normal.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
