There are only compiled drivers from Microsoft Update.
Almost the same thing as this site provides.
Unfortunately on some systems this drivers are not working properly. Not even the drivers from Microsoft and the only drivers working are only the ones from Realtek Website or your computer producer (some of the are really outdated on producer websites).
Could only find this regkey "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtek\Audio\RtkNGUI64\General" and have nothing in this one "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\don't load"
I searched for "RTSnMg64.cpl" and found it at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Extended Properties\{305CA226-D286-468e-B848-2B2E8E697B74} 2"
Any solution to get the d*mn control panel back?
Don't know if this will help...???
1. Type regedit in RUN or Start Menu Search box, then right-click on regedit and choose Run as administrator. This will open Registry Editor.
2. Now go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\don't load
3. The above mentioned key contains some .CPL entries in right-side pane which makes them hidden in Control Panel.
4. You can simply delete the "don't load" key and all hidden items should be enabled in Control Panel.

If you delete the whole "don't load" key in Windows 7 and later, you might get some duplicate items in Control Panel e.g., you'll get 2 Keyboard, 2 Mouse, 2 Sound entries in Control Panel. To fix this issue, don't delete the whole key, instead only delete following entries from right-side pane:
I speak from experience as that was exactly what I did when I tried to fix the Realtek HD Audio Manager originally and deleted everything only to see some control panel items twice.Code:hdwwiz.cpl appwiz.cpl ncpa.cpl sysdm.cpl desk.cpl joy.cpl Firewall.cpl collab.cpl irprops.cpl tabletpc.cpl bthprops.cpl infocardcpl.cpl
I have a weird issue with the Realtek drivers. Recently I installed a Realtek driver that's a bit older (from 2015) because it produces better sound on my laptop. However, whenever the laptop boots from shutdown, there's no sound. I see the audio playing in the Windows Mixer and under Playback Devices, but there's no sound actually coming out of the speakers. But, when I restart the laptop, everything works perfectly well! I'm at a loss as to what could be the cause of this strange behavior, and I really would like to use that older driver. Does anybody have any idea or solution or suggestion?
