• Conexant and the 2004 saga continues

    Posted on May 8, 2021 at 09:10 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    I’m scratching my head a bit this morning reading the post on Bleeping computer.

    Microsoft has addressed the last remaining known issues affecting Windows 10 computers with Conexant or Synaptics devices causing errors and problems when updating to Windows 10 versions 2004 or 20H2.

    But when you go to the underlying Windows Health dashboard item it still is the same lousy resolution as before:

    Resolution: The safeguard hold with safeguard IDs 25702617, 25702660, 25702662, and 25702673 has been removed for all devices as of May 7, 2021, including devices with affected drivers. If updated drivers are not available for your device and you are offered Windows 10, version 2004 or Windows 10, version 20H2, a small number of devices might roll back to the previous version of Windows 10 when attempting to update. If this occurs, you should attempt to update to Windows 10, version 2004 or Windows 10, version 20H2 again.

    I don’t read “gee, we scan your computer, see that it has an impacted driver, remove it DURING the 2004 install so that you have a nice install process”, I still read that you will have a horrible upgrade experience and you’ll have to try it several times before it completes.
