Windows 10: Windows audio service missing / disappeared

Today, I started my laptop and it crashed, when I restarted, the audio stopped working, with the following error: the Windows audio service is not activated, so I look for the services to restart it, but I did not find the windows audio service , after searching more I understood that it was missing.

Any help is appreciated.

Windows Audio Services audiosvr.exe has disappeared.

New (3 month old) Asus laptop running Windows 10, all updates installed, Windows Defender antivirus (up to date).

So a couple of days ago my audio started playing up. First & second time a reboot fixed it, now it seems to be permanently not working.

Simultaneously, Defender reported 3 times that it has spotted a threat (Trojan:Occamy.b) and quarantined it.

• I haven't downloaded anything from an unknown source and I'm always very careful anyway - only pdf, xlsx, csv, png, jpg and docx in the last few days
• Occamy.b has been reported by Windows Defender in other situations - but a false alarm.
• I ran a full virus scan to be on the safe side - no issues found

I've run the windows troubleshooter - which says that the audio service is not running.

Further searching help forums etc. led me to the following:

• In Task Manager --> Services" the audiosvr Windows Audio Service has status "stopping".
  
• In "services.msc" the Windows Audio Service has same status "stopping". It won't respond to attempts to either start or stop.
• in c:\windows\system32 the file audiosvr.exe is missing (associated .dll files are present)

In Defender, I deleted the first 2 quarantines, but restored the third. That doesn't seem to have fixed the issue though.

Any suggestions how I can get audio services running again please?

 

Windows Audio Service is missing after a bluescreen

Hello everyone,

After a bluescreen, my audio (output and input) isn't working at all. When I click on the audio icon, Windows says that Windows Audio service is not enabled and ask me if I want to activate it but it doesn't work.

I've already tried to :

• update audio devices's drivers
• uninstall/reinstall audio devices
• Go to services.msc to restart Windows Audio (but the service is missing, it's just doesn't appear into the list)
• start Windows Audio by command as Admin by using the command net start audiosrv which output with this error :
  
  "A system error 5 happened, access forbiden." (even if I launch it as admin)

Don't know what to do next...

Thanks for your help
