Realtek Audio Driver Update

[ZL1983]

Hello

how long would Realtek Audio Drive update installation take to finish?

mine is still installing and it seams like it will take forever. Should I interrupt it and how?

Thank you for your helps!

it should take 2 minutes max... its just a driver update and maybe the HD Audio manager. how long has yours been going as any longer means its not doing a lot.

Have a look in task manager and see if the program is doing anything there, how much ram or CPU is it on? any activity?

It has been going on for about on hour or so. Task manager shows it does nothing! So I ended it in task manager. Sound was gone for a moment. then I uninstall Realtek HD Audio. when I restarted my computer, I found out the sound is back to my laptop and Realtek HD Audio is updated.

It is strange.

Thank you any way for helping in such short notice.

sounds like installer just never stopped running, very strange

Sometimes issues like that can indicate deeper issues, so keep an eye on things. If things freeze, or become much slower there may be an issue like a failing HDD/SSD, or software corruption.

Thank you for this heads up. I will keep an eye on that.

If it's isn't caused by bad hardware, sometimes a Windows restart is all that's needed, then run that software installer again.

Had to do exactly that last week when an installer progress-bar just stopped - - nothing else happening - - waited a minute or two but no go.

So I restarted Windows, ran the installer again and it completed without any problem.
