Сергей про Realtek HD Audio Codec Driver R2.82 [19-02-2022]
Реалтек дерьмо, надеюсь разрабы этих драйверов сдохнут в мучениях. Невозможно откатить, удалить, даже после полного удаления отовсюду, этот сраный драйвер после перезагрузки восстанавливается. Не могу подключить теперь блютуз наушники. Пара минут и комп уходит в принудительную перезагрузку, переустановить никак не получается. Выход, только сносить винду. Компания уëбищная максимально, извиняюсь конечно за маты, но по другому никак не отозваться, худшие драйвера из всех.
