PC cannot detect any sound drivers
Hi! I've used boostspeed for maybe a year or so, and recently driver updater. Somewhere since driver updater my computer has been off. Also, it should be mentioned that my computer will no longer even work with driver updater. Driver updater turned my computer into a nonfunctional brick, that couldn't even get past boot up. It took me a long time to reset it back to where it was. The driver updater program no longer works on my computer. I tried running it 10 times, each time driver updater program crashes and sends you guys a report.
Somewhere in there something uninstalled my "conexant and real hd audio drivers." Sounds simple enough for me to just go download and reinstall, but ive done that several times and they never show up. I have tried manually downloading and installing, and also let HP installer attempt to install the drivers. But they still don't even show up anywhere on my computer, not on C drive, not under "conexant" file (where there is just USB driver).
I have tried doing system restore like 4 times to put the computer back to an earlier date (when my audio still worked), still no drivers show up. Even my computer will say after the attempted restore point process, "failed to restore system."
So my computer has audio via bluetooth, but not through the headphone jack line in or the laptop speakers. I work in audio and video, so this is an issue. I am literally 3 days late in completing my video projects because i get get sound on this laptop... and getting sound via bluetooth won't cut it with the delay and wrong speaker connections.
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100+ apps that i've installed on my computer for video and audio, software keys, licensing programs, etc... amongst others. It took me around 2 weeks to install all of those. I do not want to have to do a complete reinstall of windows to get this my computer to work. Can you please help me figure out what I need to do to get this thing fixed? Any help is appreciated!

How to safely speed up start up?
Hi,
From time to time I get a notification that "Windows Start up took 1m 40sec" or similar with the suggestion that I look at the start up programmes with, I presume, the idea of reducing that time.
I am all for doing just that, however, when I open the Start Up I am confonted with a list of apps which for the most part mean very little to me. I have no idea what disabling any particular app will do; whether it would have a detrimental or beneficial effect on my system.
I would be grateful for any advice or suggestions you may be able to give to help me.
I had thought to supply you with a list of the apps but can find no way to even copy a list into a word document, so maybe you could help me to accomplish that so that you will be better able to help me!
Alternatively, I am happy for you to use remote access.
Regards,
Donald Stewart
Windows asks me twice to give permission to use Edge
I use Windows 11 and Edge is my default browser. I love Microsoft Edge but can't understand why every time I start my computer, Windows asks me twice to give permission for it to use Edge, and then later when I go to use Edge it asks me again.
Given that Microsoft has created both the software that runs my computer and also Microsoft Edge, I speculate it should be possible to avoid such an unecessary procedure. Will you please tell me how to do this? Thanks.

Fix intermittent PC Crashing/Freezing
To Whom It May Concern,
In recent weeks, I have been experiencing intermittent crashing/freezing of my PC. This sometimes happens 1/3 times a day or I can go a few days without it occurring at all. It is not, actually, a BSOD - just a "straightforward' freeze or crash.
When accessing the Windows Event Log, the common denominator would appear to be identifed as follows:
Unable to open the Server service performance object. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the status code.
I would consider myself reasonably computer savvy, describing myself as a software 'Geek', in addition to having set-up remote computing facilities. However, this is difficult to readily identify and despite, browsing the Internet extensively, I find I cannot resolve or prevent this from crash from occurring.
The only 'fix' I have reviewed is accessing 'Windows Services' that requires the 'Server to be restarted' but as this is already running (having reset itself?) I cannot, actually, do anything:

Any advice, recommendations or support you an afford me would be very much appreciated.
I am grateful for your attention, time, effort and anticipated co-operation in assisting me to resolve this perplexing and frustrating issue.
Kind regards to you and your colleagues at Auslogics

как исправить ошибку Microsoft Office SDXhelper.exe ?
Переодически выдает ошибку, я так понимаю это связанно с каким-то файлом отвечающим за обновление Майкрософт Офиса. Появляется не так, чтобы часто. Может 1 раз при перезапуске компьютера. Как это можно было бы убрать? Переустановить офис, наверное...
