Microsoft has partially addressed known issues impacting Windows 10 devices with certain Conexant or Synaptics audio devices after investigating ongoing errors since May 2020.
The known issue impacting computers with Conexant audio drivers has been under investigation since May 2020 when Microsoft released Windows 10, version 2004.
"Please note, if there are no other safeguards that affect your device, it can take up to 48 hours before the update to Windows 10, version 2004 or Windows 10, version 20H2 is offered," Microsoft says on the issue's Windows Health Dashboard entry.
"Windows 10 devices with affected Conexant or Synaptics audio drivers might receive a stop error with a blue screen during or after updating to Windows 10, version 2004," Microsoft explains.
Impacted computers with Conexant or Synaptics audio devices will not be able to install newer Windows 10 versions until the associated compatibility holds will be removed.
