...kind of, but this story gets really interesting where you can uninstall the latest updates and the issue still persists 🤔
And, weirder yet, you can install a fresh, newer version of Windows, and...

Heartbeat:
While I have both, a fairly recent backup and a fresh installation of a new (21H1) version of Windows, both of which have working sound, I'm still running the "broken sound" version of...

(Sigh)... I guess.
It's like calling the case "solved" when the diamonds that were stolen out of a high security vault just turn up back on the doorsteps.
The "why" and "how" wasn't actually...

Thank you, that's a neat tool. :)
I did have no problem finding different versions, however.
While the MCT seems to tend to provide ESD images, and other sources seem to favor WIM, the behavior I...

I don't know, "make sure you don't run into the problem in the first place", aka "go back in time and make a backup" doesn't really strike me as a viable solution.
The problem wasn't solved, It's...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast 😅
I said I TRIED .508, and I also said that I didn't download that older version until much later ^^
By "tried", I mean that I mounted the image and launched...

Hello, Bree! Thank you for coming to my aid! :)

Yes, that seems to be the invariant problem I face any time I try it, with any version (I tried ~10 ISOs so far (GER + EN (US), wim + esd), but the...

Yes, that was the current state of things as reported by Windows.

As I said, I don't know which version Windows was in along the chain of updates. I didn't think to look at the version numbers as...

Okay, sure thing

Yes.

Yes. Although, coming to think...

(I couldn't get the link to work on tenforums, choosing "<other>" as protocol, it changes the link to https://www.tenforums.com/regionlanguage. :mad:)

What happens when you go to ms-settings:regionlanguage? What do you see, what happens when you add/remove/change things?

Yes, I only tried step 6 (using MCT directly with "upgrade this PC now") after the preferred methods of deferring to an ISO image failed.
Yeesh, I don't think anybody would like a clean install over...

Already watching :)

Sadly, neither do I. I didn't think to look at what version my OS thought it was on before going ahead with the latest updates.
I installed the May feature update and...

BTW, so far, all the versions I've tried start me off in a full-screen borderless window, which looks already different from the screenshots and videos I've seen.
Is it safe to assume that...

Hi Denis, thank you for your quick reply!
Clarifications:
I have not managed to perform any repair install. I aborted the attempted installation which would not let me choose to keep files and...

I am confused...
After problems with the 2021-06 cumulative update for x64 machines, I had to uninstall the latest quality update.
Now having different problems (no sound devices detected), I...

Hi!
I also have this issue now, this happened after the 06-2021 cumulative update to 20H2 (the original 20H2 was fine).
Pre-history:
Actually, I couldn't boot correctly with 06-2021. It would show...

I always make system image backups of my system drive.
I did buy a 240 GB SSD - I had a 128 GB SSD for my system drive, which was getting full, so I made an image and played it on my new SSD, so my...

Wait, what? Isn't all that matters that all the files are in the specified location? Why is an image important?

Thanks for replying! :)
I see. The thing is that it's not that easy to separate portable and non-portable data: I have a lot of programs with large amounts of data, like SDKs and music creation. My...

Hi everyone!
I'm planning to span my D: Drive (which is now a 2 TB HDD) partition over to a new 128 GB SSD.
That partition holds Program Files and Program Files (x86) as alternatives to the ones on...

It's solved... And pardon my ignorance.

So I went and took ownership and granted full access to everybody for all the speech related directories in %windir%, System32 and SysWOW64.
