Realtek-UAD-generic VS Wu10Man

Would you mind to try these drivers? https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic/releases

Instead of the neutered Realtek Audio Console I am using the one with the equalizer. You can download it here: https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic/release Unzip the RealtekAudioControl_1.41.290-offline.zip file. Click on the setup.cmd file to install.

Use DDU to remove anything Audio related to Realtek. Restart the PC and download the drivers from pal1000 https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic/releases and see if that helps

Try this one.

Uninstall the driver and install https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic along with the Realtek Audio Control Panel, since with my laptop, uninstalling Waves Maxx Audio Pro disables headphone jack detection.

Or you can install pal1000's Realtek UAD drivers and the latest Realtrek Audio Control 1.41.290.0.

Finally, you could try modded drivers from either Alan Finotty with his AAF Optimus Sound package which has a ton of options and AIOs such as Dolby Digital, DTS-X, Atmos, etc etc and some additional applications (but you can select if you want them or not), or the Pal Realtek package.

The Realtek Audio Control that's posted on pal1000's thread is just an updated version, 1.41.289.0, of the same Realtek Audio Console (Control) that you posted a pic of. Looks the same and does NOT have an audio equalizer.

Try using generic Realtek drivers from here: https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic

Anyway, I found good program Wu10Man

I disabled Windows Updates two years ago, right after I installed Windows 10. Never gonna turn them on. Fuck you Microsoft. Read too many horror stories. Not updating. Dont ask me.

Some people are telling you to get an SSD. Yeah, that's cool, but what if you don't want to, can't, etc.? Therefore this is the solution with what you have: disable everything that doesn't serve a purpose. Uninstall all you can. I've had this problem on and off for a year and I've finally fixed it, use these: You need to disable, mainly, three things: Windows Defender and all its secondary stuff (Antimalware Service, etc.). Use this: https://github.com/qtKite/defender-control (disable all you can manually first). Windows Updates: try this: https://github.com/WereDev/Wu10Man if it doesn't work try this: https://www.wintips.org/how-to-turn-off-windows-10-updates-permanently/. Unnecessary Windows Services (look for a list of those in some search engine, you'll get around 20 that are practically useless for everyone). Then, also: Debloat with this: https://github.com/builtbybel/bloatbox (everything you can, Microsoft Store, XBox, all that nonsense, many of those you can uninstall manually). Disable Cortana, Windows Search, all that nonsense.

I'd say dual boot,keep the shitty windows for games and use for linux normal use,a lot of programs ain't compatible with linux so you're gonna face problems with a single boot setup.You can force stop windows updates using something like this .I've heard that you can run some games through WINE. Anyways,good luck.

https://github.com/WereDev/Wu10Man + OOSU10 + some registry tweaks = no defender, and updates only when you want to.

I had a lot of success using Wu10Man
