This is nothing. My machine is on Windows 10 1909 but the May 2020 as well as the Oct 2020 Win 10 updates have both been held back because of Conexant driver incompatibility causing blue screen. MS stated back in June they are working with Synaptics to roll out an updated driver but we're nearly in Nov now and there has been no further announcement. Looks like they can't update the driver or the number of incompatible machines are low enough for them not to bother, essentially saying "upgrade your machine or just stay on 1909 till EOL, not our problem."
Drivers are a huge pain on both Windows as well as Linux. We're at 2020 now and still software development hasn't been able to separate drivers from the operating system, make them OS agnostic and easily updatable without all sorts of breakages.
- ivank 6y agoIf you have an HP EliteBook G4 or similar: I noticed HP SoftPaq now has an updated Conexant driver that claims to work on Windows 10 2004 and 20H2 in its release notes. I installed that and forced an update using Windows 10 Update Assistant to 2004 and then 20H2. I haven't seen any bluescreens.
