Microsoft released a patch claiming to fix the DAC audio device driver issue, but some users report other problems. The update also brings the new Outlook for Windows app to Windows 10, while support for older versions ends on October 14. Microsoft encourages users to test the update and be prepared to roll it back if needed.
There is mixed news for Windows users. Microsoft has released a patch it claims fixes the DAC problem. The bad news – for some users – is that the new Outlook for Windows app has reached Windows 10.
Microsoft's work on Windows' audio system is in the rollout. The company claims to have dealt with an issue with audio device drivers where the message"This device cannot start" appeared when connecting to external audio management devices, athat the DAC problem did indeed appear to have been solved. Some, however, registered other complaints, so as with any update, it would – if possible – be sensible to test it first and be prepared to roll it back.
Most versions of Windows 10 are rapidly approaching the end of the road. Support is due to end on October 14. While Microsoft has shown no desire to keep affected versions supported past that date, it has continued to update the platform. Although ditching the Mail and Calendar applications in favor of the new Outlook for Windows app is probably not what users had in mind as an"update.
