Have you tried downloading and installing the update manually from the Windows update catalogue? This has helped me more than once when an update wouldn't install.

And you are sure you selected the right recording device in Audacity?

My words. I really doubt that a new GPU will help the OP. The 5700G is able to output 4K at 60 Hz which is plenty if the computer is not used for gaming. Nor does the OP mention any workload which would benefit from a dedicated GPU.

Yes, that's clear. But the question is has your USB device got a line in (aux) or only a mic in?I don't know if it's possible to listen to the mic input on the computer to which the USB device is connected. But you should be able to record the audio with a software like Audacity even though you...

A graphics card does not really increase general image quality. It does help with games, it can help with converting or editing videos, you can mine crypto currencies with it or use it for AI stuff. I'm not saying that it's useless in your case but it could be that you end up disappointed as far...

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you are using a mic input. I don't know if it's possible to listen to the mic input. Has the device got a line in (aux)?

There is a brief explanation of the difference under "Secure Erase" in the Parted Magic documentation. It should also apply to NVME drives as these are also SSDs.

Is the device an external sound card? You cannot input something to the external sound card and output the sound through the motherboard audio device. At least that's my understanding. Select your external sound card as playback device in Windows and connect the speakers to the external sound...

Well I'd try a USB port ;-)

Maybe some software has exclusive access to the audio device? If a program has exclusive access the volume slider does not work.

I run VMWare Workstation Pro for my Linux guest which I use for web surfing and e-mail. Workstation Pro does everything I need and the performance is just fine. But if you want you can also try Virtualbox (also supports audio playback) which is another free virtualization software.

I recommend using FastCopy for the job.

You can run the wizard (if you deactivated it you can launch it in the options) and select "In a specific location" where you can enter a path you want to scan. Or if you chose to install the context menu entries you can also right click the corresponding folder in Windows Explorer and select...

If you get too many results you can also limit the search to certain paths. So if you know the path where the files you deleted were stored you can only search for deleted files in that path. This should make it easier to pinpoint the correct files.

These are the deleted files Recuva has found. You can select and recover them. The file names are never restored which can make it challenging to identify the right files. By the way if you recover files make sure you save them on a different drive and not on the one the deleted files were...
