  1. Windows Update causes audio and video issues


    Since January Windows Update 2020-1, every time I run and install updates, I lose audio and video on my desktop. If I run system restore from a restore point just before the updates, all functions return to normal. I have ran the troubleshooter, and it finds nothing wrong. When I check for proper drivers, all the latest drivers show being installed. This only happens on my desktop - my Windows 10 notebook and tablet are not affected by the update. What next???

    :)

    Windows 10 HDMI audio issues in Dell (ALIENWARE) M11XR3

    Hi Mohamed,

    This might have caused due to any compatibility issues with the Video/Audio card drivers. As a first step, I suggest you to install all the updates listed in Windows Updates and check if the same issue occurs. This is to check if this is caused due to any
    updates related issues.

    If still the issue persists, then I suggest you to try installing the drivers in compatibility mode and check if the issue persists. This is to check if this is caused due to any compatibility issues.

    Refer to the following Windows 8.1 article to install the drivers in compatibility mode. The steps apply to Windows 10 as well.
