    lol same thing happened to me those apps are usually Hardware Support Apps tied to spceific driver components. If Windows Update installed a generic or partial driver, the app cant find its component. Install the full audio package from ur laptop or motherboard makers support page, then reinstall the app.

    Check Device Manager > Software components. Vendor audio stacks install extension components there (for example an APO or a service component). If those are missing after the update, the app won't run.

    RAM prices doing their own thing again smh

    yeahhh order that usually works: uninstall the app, uninstall the audio device in Device Manager (tick delete the driver software if offered), reboot, install the PC mkaers audio package, reboot, then install the app from teh Store if the package didnt. lmk how it goes

    Accepted solution

    hmmm open services.msc and check that the vendor's audio service is installed and running :) some apps simply say they can't run when their service is stopped.
