Windows 10: Windows Sonic with Nahimic 2 is not working after Windows 10 1903 update.

Hello everyone!

I'm in need of some help.
I installed the new Windows 10 1903 May Update (Build 18362.145), and i noticed that, in the audio device properties, Spatial Sound tab, the option to turn on/off the 7.1 Virtual Surround is gone
In 1809, i used Windows Sonic together with Nahimic 2+ (my MSI laptop model doesn't support Nahimic 3), but had to disable that option, otherwise the Nahimic effects were disabled. In 1903, everytime i select Windows Sonic, Nahimic effects gets disabled, meaning that the 7.1 Virtual Surround is activating and i don't like the sound with that option on, or with only the Nahimic effects... The sweetspot for me is using both...

I tried to search this option in Windows 10 Definitions app in the Sound options section, and could not find it anywhere...

I had to revert to 1809 because of this, until i could find a solution. Other than this, i found the new version of Windows 10 good and was stable while i used it (at least on my laptop configuration), compared to 1809 when it was released, so congrats to Microsoft for that achievement, and hope you can continue to improve and fix the bugs and problems of Windows 10!


Is this completely removed in this windows version, or has it been moved to another place and i missed it somehow?

When searching Google i find no mention of this either.

I have a MSI GS73VR-7RF with all drivers updated to last version.

Hope someone can help me, or at least clarify this doubt, if possible.


Cheers.


PS: Forgot to mention that my edition is using Portuguese-Portugal language.

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
