    Clearly you don't get the definition of barely starting.

    It just did the "no audio device installed" thing again when I booted it up. Installed the drivers again manually as I did last time to fix the problem... but does anyone know why this keeps happening? I'm assuming Windows keeps changing the drivers to a faulty version because it thinks my current version is incorrect or something. Even when I disabled automatic updates, it still messes with the drivers without prompting.

    theres an another area where you have to tell the windows driver installer to not look for drivers through windows update. I'll have a look

    What does the current driver information say in the device manager for your sound? If its an microsoft driver then your theory is right. All i can suggest is an deep clean driver delete and reinstall latest version but your already done that, so i dunno.

    I would use Driver Sweeper by guru3d to remove registry entries and left over pieces after you uninstall realtek via add/remove method in control panel

    @Josh: Thanks for remoting into my PC. Wasn't home at the time so didn't see your messages till just now. There's nothing wrong with it at present; it's just when it reboots, Windows must be overriding the functional drivers. I just looked at the area in your screenshot; it was already set to "no, let me choose what to do, and never install driver software. Will look into the registry stuff if it happens again.
