Windows 10 update destroyed DAX

I am using a laptop to communicate to my Flexradios from our house to the shack which is about 50m (60yards) away. The latest update has destroyed DAX totally, there is no signs of any DAX audio.
What is the best way to recover SDR, should I unstal it and then reinstal or what ?
Advice please
Thanks
Ross ZL1WN

    Hello Ross, I'm curious as to what version of SmartSDR you are running? And do you know what version of the OS installed itself that then damaged DAX? Thank you.

    I dread the updates it wiped mine completely off and I had to go back in a redo all the connections. Fortunately I just have FT8 and a Pactor and Winmor programs to fix. I also have a two older Flex 5000As and use ComOCom and VAC never had a problem once it was setup.

    Actually I like Windoze 10 MUCH better than Windoze 8.

    yes, Microsoft breaks things with updates but it keeps my grey cells working.

    Version 1903 is old stuff. It's all 1909 now, and we're almost to an April or may update next. They've stopped doing updates for 1903.... so no wonder theres still an issue hanging around.

    I have a laptop with Windws 8 on it, do not use it much its just for when I travel and need to call into our network at work and communicate with the cast registers. Funny I have never had any problems with it but I am sure I turned off the updates years ago.

    Glad it worked out. Did you have any ghosted audio devices in Device Manager? Dave wo2x
