A week later Edge stuck on update again on Windows 10 64 bit. Is there a way to turn this off?

Thanks to all. I am on windows 10.

Thanks! Hopefully this driver solves my 5.1 audio issue with my current ancient audio drivers. They worked for a long time until something caused this.

Hopefully I can get some...

erpster4,
I will definitely just try that link. Thanks again. Being the technically curious type I was just curious of the major difference between 6.0.1.8468 (from Asus) and 6.0.1.8746.1 HDA...

Thanks erpster4. I will check that out. For my Maximus Hero VIII they show the most recent driver (just posted 3/3/20?) s 6.0.1.8468 at 761.34MB which is much larger than prior versions which is...

I am running Windows 10 Pro ver 1809 build 17763.379.

Thanks,

Greetings,
I have an Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard and am pretty familiar with this Realtek Driver/Sonic Studio dance. However I have an issue with my 5.1 audio and want to make sure I install...

Thanks. I guess I should have said chip manufacturer. In my case Dell and Mboard manufacturers have nothing.

Will do, thanks. Is prowling OEM sites like Realtek for audio or others for wifi drivers better or worse than trying thr Windows update driver in DM?

Thanks. Yes I always use the media creation tool. And for sure, always image before I upgrade.

I have upgraded several PC's to Windows 10 and I am down to my last 3 that are Windows 7-era machines.

Two are home-built PC's running Windows 7 SP1 64bit and 32 bit. In this case the motherboard...

Awesome! Thanks.

Navylcdr,
Thanks, that makes perfect sense! Will read up on that genuine ticket method. The link implied I could also use the Windows 7 key to validate Windows 10?

Sorry for the confusion....my earlier Windows 10 upgrades were with other systems. I just took a "tech break". I was hoping to get this basic laptop on Windows 10 just for very basic work. However...

I went through quite a few upgrades when Windows 10 arrived but have taken a break and don't feel up to speed on what has changed regarding upgrading with a "clean install". I am familiar with the...

I am on windows 10. Fully updated. Sorry, should have clarified that if I didn't or posted in wrong area.

spapakons,
Yes you are correct. I have the most recent driver. This is why I do not...

Thanks for all the help group. Yes I am on windows 10, that is the issue. Been working on setting up a newly built PC on W10 all day.
That hide tool does not work for drivers, at least not my...

I pride myself in researching and figure things out but just can't get this one.
I know I have the most recent NVidia driver from their website. My video is gone.
I also know all about the...

This is promising. However I still wonder why some users installing the final Win 10 build are reporting issues about Windows messing up permissions to user files in my docs, pictures, etc. Hard to...

I also just ran into this "permissions" issue where a Windows 10 upgrade causes users to lose permission for their user documents, etc. folders. ...

First, this is a great thread. I remember early on when one of the ezine writers identified this issue during beta testing. Why it was never fixed before windows 10 went live is beyond me. You use...

Thanks to you both for the input.

I can certainly make an image of my old SSD...no problem there. And for prior windows version, a hard drive change normally re-activated.

Hmmm, but just...
