Windows 10: Windows audio services randomly switch on and off.

I'm getting quite frustrated here, so I'm hoping somebody can help ASAP.


My laptop has never let me down before, and I always update it with the latest software. But just today, the audio started disabling itself randomly. I've tried restarting the system, re-installing the drive, I've looked everywhere online for an answer, and nothing. Nothing has changed. The audio still enables and disables itself whenever it feels like it.


PLEASE HELP!

Audio services not responding - Audio randomly stopped working


Hi,

My first post on the forum as Ive had it with w10 and it randomly screwing up.

Yesterday I switch on my machine and notice the little red cross on the speaker and no sound.

when i run troubleshooter I get the "Audio services not responding" and no fix.

I have tried reinstalling the drivers, and also restarting the services (Windows audio etc) but nothing worked.

I have also tried rolling back to a restore point (which was a palava in itself as I had the error with Windows Apps folder and needing me to rename it).

Im at a loss now. No idea wth is going on.

Any ideas or help would be great!

Thanks

Matt
