Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update breaks audio on some PCs, but there is a workaround

Microsoft's September security update for Windows 11, KB5124008, is causing audio issues with USB audio devices, including unresponsive sound controls and lack of audio output. The problems are linked to USB Audio Class 1.0 devices and do not affect built-in motherboard audio codecs or wireless headsets. Users may see an error message “This device cannot start (Code 10)” in Device Manager logs. Microsoft is working on a fix, and users can temporarily switch to stereo settings for relief. Additionally, the update is causing gameplay disruptions, crashes, and other bugs, prompting users to report issues to Microsoft and consider pausing updates.

Microsoft patches Windows and Excel – breaks audio, remote access, and paste

Microsoft's recent security updates have caused disruptions in several areas: 1. Remote Desktop Services (RDS): Users on Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2012 are experiencing connectivity issues, including failed connections, freezing servers, and unresponsive tools like Microsoft Management Console (MMC). A temporary solution involves restarting the virtual machine, and Microsoft is working on a fix. 2. USB Audio Devices: Problems have been reported with USB Audio Class 1.0 devices on Windows 11 26H1, 25H2, and 24H2, leading to audio issues. A workaround includes switching to two-channel mode, and Microsoft is addressing the situation. 3. Excel Functionality: A fix for vulnerabilities in Excel has disrupted the paste operation across versions 2016, 2019, 2021, and 2024, leaving users unable to paste content correctly. Some users have resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling Office or using commands to remove the security update, though this also removes the associated security fixes.

Microsoft confirms Windows 11’s update kills audio on some PCs, and the bugs keep piling up

Windows 11 update KB5124008, released on September 8, has caused significant audio issues for users, including failure of audio devices to initialize or produce sound, and problems with microphones and multichannel audio. The update is linked to Explorer.exe crashes, disruptions in File History backups, Remote Desktop difficulties, and GPU issues on certain AMD systems. Microsoft has acknowledged these problems and indicated that the audio issues primarily affect USB Audio Class 1.0 devices. Users may see error logs in Device Manager indicating "This device cannot start (Code 10)." A temporary workaround is to switch to a 2-channel mode, and wireless audio devices appear to be unaffected. Microsoft is working on a permanent solution.

Windows 11 September Update Kills Audio Output on Some PCs

Microsoft has acknowledged an issue with audio output for some Windows 11 users following the September security update KB5124008, which has affected USB audio devices. Users may encounter error messages like "This device cannot start (Code 10)" in the device manager, with symptoms including unresponsive volume controls, absence of audio output, and devices not appearing in the device manager. The issue is limited to USB Audio Class 1.0 devices. A workaround involves reverting to a 2-channel audio mode, which may restore functionality for some devices. Microsoft is working on a permanent fix. Previous updates have also caused issues, such as resetting custom cursors and impacting gameplay with crashes and freezes. A poll indicated that many users believe the quality of Windows 11 is deteriorating.
Microsoft reveals why 32-bit Windows was limited to 4GB RAM, and it wasn't a technical limit

Microsoft reveals why 32-bit Windows was limited to 4GB RAM, and it wasn’t a technical limit

32-bit Windows is commonly thought to be limited to 4GB of RAM due to its 32-bit address space, but this overlooks the role of Physical Address Extension (PAE), which allows access to more than 4GB of RAM on compatible processors. PAE enables 32-bit x86 processors to use 36-bit physical addresses. Windows allocates a 4GB virtual address space to each 32-bit application, with 2GB reserved for the application and 2GB for system use. Windows Server 2003 SP1 Enterprise can support up to 64GB of RAM, while the Datacenter edition can handle 128GB. Microsoft did not extend this capability to consumer editions due to the complexities and potential issues with hardware drivers, which often assume a 32-bit framework. Modifying drivers for PAE can be challenging, as incorrect assumptions about physical and virtual addresses can lead to memory corruption. To mitigate risks, Microsoft capped physical address space at 4GB in Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 Standard Edition. Server environments typically have more controlled hardware selections, allowing for the use of drivers that are tested for compatibility with addresses exceeding 4GB. Microsoft began discouraging the production of 32-bit systems in 2020 and ended 32-bit edition production with Windows 11.

GAMES Nintendo Switch can now be statically recompiled for PC

Enthusiasts in the emulation community have acquired a toolkit for the static recompilation of Nintendo Switch games on PCs, following the final update of the suyu emulator, which introduced Recompiler mode. This tool pre-compiles static code from the ARM AArch64 architecture into instructions for modern 64-bit x86 chips, allowing game logic to operate natively and reducing CPU overhead. The implementation is about 50% complete, focusing on code execution, while the graphics and audio components still rely on high-level emulation. Fully functional native ports will require third-party developers to create their own renderers for the Tegra GPU's graphics calls. The codebase allows the community to explore game structures, develop modifications, and create semi-native executables for PCs.
