Recently, Microsoft has pushed a new Realtek HD Audio driver to win10 system users. However, many netizens who have tried to download the Realtek HD Audio driver said that after downloading the Realtek HD Audio driver, they will be prompted to install failed. So, how can the Realtek HD Audio driver be successfully installed? The editor found that when installing the Realtek HD Audio driver, win10 system users need to turn off UAC user account control before installation. Let’s take a look at the specific installation tutorial below!

​

After turning off UAC User Account Control, the driver update can be installed normally. It seems that when the administrator rights need to be elevated during the driver installation process, the system does not pop up the UAC User Account Control window normally, causing the program to be unable to continue the installation.

It is recommended to re-enable UAC after the problem is resolved. Most software can run normally with lower permissions.

Install unnecessary software or tamper with system files.
