Windows 10: Windows OS patch expected installation and reboot time

Hi, what is the average expected installation and reboot time taken for Windows OS patch on a machine? - specifically related to the monthly Cumulative Update released every patch Tuesday.

ETA of patch for "KRACK". Was this patched previously or should we expect a patch soon?

Thanks. I just re-posted per your suggestion.

Windows 10 - Sound stopped working after KB3093266 patch install.

Hello,

Let me prefix this with - I genuinely like Windows 10.

I successfully upgraded to Windows 10 when the upgrade came available in mid-Summer, but after Cumulative patch KB3093266 was installed on 10/1/2015, my speakers stopped working following the reboot.

• My PC is a Mac MINI, Win10 is on a Boot Camp partition, and has been functional for quite some time.
  • I like the small form-factor of the hardware / hate the Mac OS.
  • The underlying Mac OS is up to date on patches.
• The speakers are USB-powered
  • When I boot on OS-X, the speakers work fine.
  • When I boot on Windows 10, no sound (though there is an occasional blip of static if I unplug / plug in the speakers - meaning the speakers are getting the USB power just fine)
    
• I backed out the security patch, rebooted, the sound did not recover (community recommendation).
• I modified the memory size, the sound did not recover (community recommendation).
• I disabled / uninstalled the sound drivers for my speakers and re-enabled / downloaded fresh drivers, no recovery (community recommendation).
  
• I have been trying to create a new system backup, but interestingly, that has also stopped working.
  

There are over 10 pages of blogs on this community related to sound problems; many related to post Win10 upgrades and/or laptops. One or two are similar (I followed the problem determination steps in each to no avail).

It's as if there is some disconnect between what is generating the sound and what is playing the sound.


The final option is a complete restore of this partition, but then I will lose the applications I have installed, and that is just a non-starter for me at the moment.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I have exhausted my Problem Determination skills short of a complete rebuild.

Thank you,

Rade
