Problems with audio and missing profiles: users complain after installing the Windows 10 KB4556799 patch

If a few weeks ago we saw the problems that the KB4549951 patch released for Windows 10 was causing, now history is repeating itself, demonstrating that something is happening with the updates and patches released by the American company, many of which are the reasons for user complaints.

"

Now it&39;s about patch KB4556799, one more of the updates released by Microsoft for Windows 10 that this time is motivating complaints of some of those who have ventured to install it.Users who complain about problems with the equipment&39;s audio and data loss."

Audio issues and more

We have seen bugs of all kinds present in Windows 10 patches and in the aforementioned KB4549951 we saw, among others, bugs with Bluetooth, user profiles…. now with patch KB4556799, there are audio crashes and missing data.

It didn't take long for users to appear in the company's forums but also on Reddit complaining] in different threads about a bug that causes audio failures on their computers due to conflicts with drivers, problems which are only resolved when uninstalling audio enhancements that may be enabled or when reinstalling the Re altek driver

In addition, the problems do not end here, as other users complain about the loss of data, a failure that has already been repeated in other patches such as the one mentioned above.Problems with the profiles of some users, in which this profile is replaced by a new one, which may cause temporary data loss.

For now Microsoft says there are no bugs

For now Microsoft does not recognize the problem within the patch page and for now the solutions are the ones already seen in other cases. If uninstalling the audio enhancements, reinstalling the driver, or restarting the computer several times does not correct the audio and profiling issues, there is no choice but to remove the problematic update.

And as in previous cases, the solutions, if you are affected by this problem, are the same: create a new user profile and transfer manually the data from the new to the old and then delete it and thus return to the original situation or restart Windows several times (some users have had to do it up to 4 times).Two previous solutions to the possibility of uninstalling the update that causes problems.
