Reconfirmed that the headphones and speakers still work in the pre-boot diagnostics.Ĩ. Again, only the graphics card driver updated.ħ. Checked for Intel driver updates using an Intel tool. Used Device Manager to update all of the drivers that had been uninstalled and reinstalled. Ran the System File Checker ('sfc /scannow'). Windows reinstalled drivers automatically.Ĥ.
