WINDOWS 11 Issue with Audio Device - I can't install new drivers because I need interactive windows station.

[snufsnuf]

So it says I need to install new drivers but I require interactive windows station. I am after the latest update.
I did change driver file and driverstore ownership to administrator, I did try to disable, uninstall/reinstall driver, I did run troubleshootter and it told me I don’t have windows interactive station, I did disabled antivirus to try install drivers. Before update everything was fine.
I guess the last option is system restore, i don’t think I have any backup though. Will clearing everything solve it?

translation: “System Windows has found drivers, but entered trouble while attempting to install it”

this operation requires interactive station with windows system"

Hi there

See what Microsoft has to say (see KB5005652—Manage new Point and Print default driver installation behavior (CVE-2021-34481) - Microsoft Support )

Have you tried running a System File Checker this can sometimes happen if the program becomes corrupted.

Will clearing everything solve it?

Might yet no guarantee unless you try it.

What about what @georgeks posted and have you restarted and tried.

Not a shut down a restart.

Where are you getting the driver update from?

Is there an issue that need to be corrected by updating the driver?

I did read the article georgeks posted and I did change audio values to 1 in hkey local machine>windows. Well I don’t have any sound. Troubleshootter told me I don’t have any output device installed. Nothing I mentioned above worked, I did also try to add legacy hardware to sound video and game controller and audio bus but it says I don’t have drivers added. I think I’m getting closer but still no success haha

What about the rest of what I asked in Post #5.

So it says I need to install new drivers but I require interactive windows station.

What says this?

[georgeks]

This operation requires an interactive window station" When installing print drivers - Microsoft Q&A

Is it this the answer?
