Windows 10 keeps installing Conexant audio drivers
My speakers do not work with Conexant Audio Drivers but Windows 10 automatically keep reinstalling it. How can I remove it?
- Kill the "Flow.exe" process if running
- Delete the folder "C:\Program Files\CONEXANT"
- Using REGEDIT, Delete the Key: "HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENT VERSION\UNINSTALL\CONEXTANT_HDA" Surprisingly, this 64bit install doesn't add registry keys under WOW6432NODE.
- In Device Manager, Install your new driver. I prefer the High Definition Audio Device drivers provided by Microsoft than the Conexant HD Audio drivers. If you want these, choose "update driver", "Browse my computer for driver software", "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer", Select "High Definition Audio Device" and click Next.
After doing these items, the malware stopped installing!
Go find flowsetup.ini. Mine was in c:\program files\flow. Open it. look for addreg.uninstaller
You will have addreg.unintsaller32 and addreg.unintsaller64 Under each of those it has a uninstallstring like "Setup.exe -U -Iflowsetup -SRM=Flow.exe" or "Setup64.exe -U -Iflowsetup -SRM=Flow.exe"
Open up a command prompt with admin. click on start type cmd then right click on it and choose administrator.
CD to the directory c:\program files\flow
Then put in one of the "Setup.exe -U -Iflowsetup -SRM=Flow.exe" or "Setup64.exe -U -Iflowsetup -SRM=Flow.exe"
Seems to have worked for me. Give it a shot.
