Welcome to PCHF Cheyenne.

Have you checked for a system restore point that is before you first noticed the problem/made the changes.

Just type in system restore in the Windows 10 search box and see if there are any appropriate system restore points available then get back to us.

Thanks, I do not have a system restore my issue is I messed up my audio input and output drivers aswell as sound,video, and gamecontroller drivers I wish there was a way to reset these to default and I cant backup my drivers

Enable System Restore points on your computer, see MS guide here then try a Windows Refresh, see below;

The refresh option does not delete your personal data but may remove certain apps such as Chrome etc, I do however always recommend that folk back up any important data before carrying out a refresh or making any significant changes to the computers software or hardware.

1: Right click on the notifications icon, bottom right on the task bar then click on Open Action Centre.
2: Click on the All settings tab.
3: Click on the Update & Security tab.
4: Click on the Recovery tab to the left.
5: Click on the Get started tab.
6: Click on the Keep my files option.
7: Follow any on screen messages.
8: Post back with an update for us.

I meant i dont have any previous restore points on my pc, I did do a microsoft refresh beforehand and my drivers were still messed up when i checked

[Rustys]

Is this a Do it yourself system of a prefabricated system?

Why no download the proper drivers remove the unwanted one and the reference points in Device Manager then reinstall them?

[Cheyenne]

i dont rememeber what drivers the default pc had but i suppose i could ask a friend or something but on the otherhand i have removed an unwanted driver and my mic ceases to work , its not the mic its the drivers because this mic works fine on console

[Rustys]

Who made the system (Dell Gateway HP…)?

Was it one that some one hand built?

[Cheyenne]

I bought it from Ironside Computers, im sure you’ve heard of them

I bought it from Ironside Computers, im sure you’ve heard of them

Nope. Have you checked with them to see if they have the drivers for the system via their web site?

Did they send any disk with the system?

Is there a recovery partition on the system?

[Cheyenne]

yes, i think i found it, the disk says audio drivers ill uninstall my audio drivers and put this disk in, ill update you shortly
