Hi,
Having a bit of an issue with a Dell XPS 13 laptop running windows 10 (17134 build). Customer said that a message about a disk error occured and since then, updates have stopped working and the audio no longer works.
I have checked the HDD and doesnt appear to be any problems. I ran sfc and no problems found. The audio service apparently didnt have permissions to start. Doesnt seem to be a restore point before the problem happened so tried a repair install and that seems to have fixed the permissions issue but now it says that "no speakers or headphones are plugged in". iTunes and windows media player both display an error when starting because of this.
I have plugged in external headphones and speakers to the headphone jack, it recognises they are plugged in, but still displays the error.
I have also tried rolling back and updating the audio drivers.
Windows update still doesnt work. It says it cannot connect to the update service.
Any other suggestions before wiping and starting again?
