I agree. Windows updates and I are not on good terms ever since they decided that they knew better than me for which audio drivers to have installed and force uninstalled drivers a few years back in one of their bigger updates. I can't reinstall these drivers without windows automatically uninstalling them each update, so I've since had to use virtual audio cables and an equalizer to have audible voice input.
