    ok weird one im losing this fight with my own computer.. 😭 stuttering in every game since teh StarForce TNT/GeForce/Quadro 53.06 (Windows 2000/XP) update.

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    i tried Device Manager rollback (greyed out), uninstall via Settings (it came back), and installing the older package over the top (installer said a newer version exists). How do i get a clean old version and keep it there?? Every attempt makes me more nervous that i am going to end up with no display driver at all. i would really appreciate a clear, boring, step-by-step order that people actually trust. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    ok so in Safe Mode everything looks normal, but that uses the basic display drievr anyway. idk what else to say tbh

    ok so before all that, create a restore point: Checkpoint-Computer -Description "before DDU" in an admin PowerShell, or via System Protection... cheap insurance. hope that helps :)

    DDU isn't dangerous if you use it as intended, in Safe Mode, with a restore point first. The real risk is running it in normal mode with the network on and letting Windows race u to install a driver mid-cleanup.

    to stop Windows Update replacing it, use Device Installation Settings > No (System > About > Advanced system settings > Hardware) or the Group Policy "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates" on Pro. worked for me anyway 🤷
