Windows 21H1 sound issues
Hey there
My windows installation is driving me nuts.
Yesterday Windows 10 wouldn't want to start due to update issues. When the advanced option menu was showing I turned it off and back on.
Windows was starting yay. I've updated it manually through the installation website from Microsoft. All good no updates outstanding.
Now I was facing the infamous no audio device installed bug. I've researched some and what worked half way for me is to change the windows audio service to start with my user credentials. Volume control is back up and I can see my outputs.
However no output will play any sound. I've tried the registration fix and the dism cleanup.. Nothing seems to help. Off course also the obvious check driver, deinstall and install new ones.
Has anyone an idea or experience what may help at this point? Most systems will start to work fine after fixing the registry it seems :(

Have you tried Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters?
Also, DISM only checks the Windows image repository. Running sfc /scannow as admin does the repairs of any corrupted or missing system files.
Thank you for the reply, highly appreciated. Yes I've tried hi both to no avail.
Before running the dog I've uninstalled the feature update and did an in place upgrade back to 21H1 and it works fine again.. Not worth to find out what's wrong it appears.
There are outstanding updates now so let's see if it occurs again.
Have a nice weekend
