You could try downloading the iso and clean installing... Download Windows 10 Technical Preview
Just down load the ISO and use 7Zip and extract it to a USB stick and boot to it(it should boot to UEFI if you one time boot to UEFI USB)

Already did that last month when I'm Upgrading my Laptop to Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 from Windows 8.1

Maybe i should go back to windows 8.1 because it's faster than this OS. Ty for answers :)

You're welcome. There are a few threads here with people with the same problem & even more in the Windows Community Forums. Some of the workarounds don't work for everyone. I'm just glad I have a desktop (Windows 8.1 which I love) and my laptop for testing purposes.

Long live JJ Cale. Music never dies.

In post#1, you linked a MS Community thread ... did you follow that to the suggested workaround?

Realtek Audio Driver Wont Install - Error Code 0x000005b4 displayed, or driver update process times out.

It seems to work for some, but not all - the last post in the MS Community thread said it did not work for them at 1800 timeout

There's a zipped registry file, device_install_timeout1800.zip (348 b), at the bottom of the page if you'd rather use that.

Look at the registry file first - I do not know the Stone Group organization. If you do it manually, you know what's being changed.
