Windows 10 is very very very dangerous

I always back up my computer, that is not a problem, However, after Windows gets to version 10 it should be able to handle minor tasks. I downloaded 10 from Microsoft and did the upgrade. - Many people do not install form scratch as it is very time consuming and today's programs take many megabytes of space. For years I have not had a problem cloning my hard drives when I upgrade.

After the installation the first thing that happened was I noticed the audio was not present and it said repaired automatically but it was not. The error KMode exception not handled RTKVAC appeared. The computer boots over and over again with this very dangerous problem. It is supposed to be related to the HD audio driver. I went into safe mode and deleted the audio from the device manager. Installed the latest realtek for Windows 10 and the same problem. This is supposed to be version R279. After that the same exact problem. No audio and restarts over and over.

I find it hard to believe Microsoft does not know of this system problem.

Anybody have this and solve it. Please answer if you have. No speculation please this just waste time and forum time. I appreciate any info from those who have solved this problem.

What motherboard are you using?

I don't know what the motheboard is. It is an hp elitebook 2540P with i7 intel and windows 7 ultimate installed. 160 gb ssd internal drive.

Right now I am only interested in rolling back to windows 7 again but can't do it in restore with safe mode. In regular start up it keeps rebooting before I can get it to the mode of going back to the windows 7 system. I like the interface of win 10 but I do not need these kind of problems. I have no problems with 7 and literally hate win 8. So, I will stick to Win 7 ultimate. Never ever had a problem with it. I can clone it back to the 7 ultimate from another disk but I have some newer added programs so I want to see if I can roll back to windows 7

I rolled back to Win 7. You know it wasn't too many years ago when MS had this exact same problem with drivers not being compatible with upgrades. They should have learned something. No one should constantly have to go to compatibility mode unless they are running ancient software. I will wait until Windows 10 gets the bugs out. The problem I had as I researched said it was a common problem but is rather tedious to fix. I checked videos on youtube about it. To possible go to repair windows boot disk and re-enter your product number plus much more. Besides, this was a upgrade, there were no repair bootup disk or id. Good luck for those who are enjoying Windows 10. When a system works good it is great. A few problems though can make you really hate it.

this is actually an intermitent issue on Windows 10, even since the preview build times.

Try this, if your OS's Speaker Icon is visible, right click on it then select & click [Playback Devices], then click on your speaker,
then click properties on the lower right.



now, on the PropertyDialog->Advanced Tab, select a LOWER bit rate than your default



for example your in 24bit-48000Hz, switch to a 16bit or a lower 24bit

Did you make a system restore disk to go along with your backup image? You should be able to boot from that and restore the backup image.

Now then that is a strange one because my upgrade disabled system restore and when system restore was disabled my rescue disk would not read system images.

So you do restored to Win7 with the "roll back" feature? Did this work well? I'm thinking about creating a bootable disc with some other tools. But if this "roll back" works perfectly, I won't bother doing that.
