Windows Update has become a nusiance KB3194496
A week ago mine through automatic WU installed Windows 10 version 1607.
Soon after on my desktop sound failed.
I have Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme music card. In the device manager the driver detail was showing as 6.0.1.1373 of 03/06/2009.
I uninstalled that and updated to 6.0.230.4 of 28/02/2004 and sound started to work.
This morning (2nd Oct 2016) the Automatic WU presented my desktop with a cumulative update for Windows 10 V1607 for x64 based system -KB3194496.
As soon as the update was complete my Creative sound system failed. The driver details this time remained as the one I updated a week ago.
I have to uninstall this driver and restarted the desktop computer. On restarting device manager opened and installed something to effect "installing auxiliary ports". Soon after sound works...
I am mystified as in the past 9 years no automatic WU ever mess up the sound system and in a week twice with automatic essential WUs I am having problem with sound, though I am up and running without loss of the sound through some work around.
I wonder if the same problem will happen with the next WU!! Paranoid I am now...
I wonder if any other have similar issues/experience?
