Quote:Microsoft updated the growing list of known issues with Windows 10 version 1809, the October 2018 Update, on November 21, 2018.

A new entry highlights that Microsoft blocks the upgrade to the new feature update on devices with certain Intel display drivers.

The company notes that the issue is not Microsoft's fault this time. Intel, according to Microsoft, released driver versions to OEMs that "accidentally turned on unsupported features in Windows".

Windows 10 version 1809, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server, version 1809 are affected by the issue; means, it affects client and server versions of the Windows operating system.

Microsoft does not provide additional details on the nature of these unsupported features. Users who upgrade their devices to Windows 10 version 1809 with these display drivers installed may experience audio playback issues afterward.

Quote:Microsoft has identified issues with certain, new Intel display drivers. Intel inadvertently released versions of its display driver (versions 24.20.100.6344, 24.20.100.6345) to OEMs that accidentally turned on unsupported features in Windows.

After updating to Windows 10, version 1809, audio playback from a monitor or television connected to a PC via HDMI, USB-C, or a DisplayPort may not function correctly on devices with these drivers.

Microsoft blocks devices with these drivers from upgrading to Windows 10 version 1809.
