On developer drivers, pending windows updates and system refreshes...
So I was really looking forward to trying the new Intel audio driver.
Unfortunately my machine had the issue of pending "windows updates" that would always continually attempt to reinstall, fail and then restart the machine. I noticed that there were sixteen "pending updates" that never finished. Every few days there were at least four that would attempt reinstall themselves. One was frequently an Intel HD4000 driver. In attempting to fix the perpetual update my machine now bluescreens on boot. There were several recommended fixes on the net changing registry entries that I couldn't find. Several for renaming files (like pending.xml and cleanup.xml) which I tried and one Microsoft .net cleaner (since many of the pending restart updates were related to patches of .net versions). That is all I can think of.
I can boot into safe mode. There are no recently installed programs or recent updates to undo. I am not able to do a system rollback.
Any ideas? Anyone done a system refresh yet?
...In the zip file is a directory, DisplayAudio. Extract that out. Go to Windows Device Manager and select the "High Definition Audio Device" that cannot start and go to Update Driver, and point it to the DisplayAudio directory. It should then update the drivers...
