When the "Nahimic service" (Windows\system32\NahimicService.exe) is running - it becomes difficult to search for a keyword in Regedit, it shows very high power usage in Task Manager and everything becomes significantly slower (opening/maximizing programs' windows, even moving the mouse cursor), and it shows the result significantly slower too. Stopping the service solves the issue.

Windows 10 LTSC v1809, X470-F (BIOS 5204), Ryzen 3000.
Tried 6.0.1.8666 from the official support page of the motherboard and the latest one downloaded from this thread.

Hi,

You need this one for your motherboard :

UAD (UWD/DCH) : Realtek HD Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3)

or

HDA (Legacy/Standard) : Realtek HD Audio Drivers (HDA - ASUS ROG SSx)


The latest drivers from your ROG Crosshair VII Hero WiFi motherboard's support page are HDA drivers (HDA - ASUS ROG SSx) and the latest drivers from the ROG Crosshair VIII Hero WiFi motherboard's support page are UAD drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS). However be aware that your motherboard is compatible UAD (ASUS ROG SS3) and HDA (ASUS ROG SSx), you choose.

To help you make your choice here are the main differences between the UAD drivers and HDA drivers (whose HDA drivers have a tray icon (possibility to disable it), UAD drivers don't have a tray icon (without possibility to enable it)) : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?105878-DRIVERS-Realtek-HD-Audio-(HDA)/page2#post749160.

Hi do you happen to preserve the previous one? Cause this one does not install Sonic and Realtek control panels and I have no Windows Store.

Hi,

If you do not have the Microsoft Store (Windows LTSC/LTSB), you could not install the previous drivers either. It is not a problem of version but a problem of type, if you do not have Microsoft Store, you must use the HDA drivers (follow the ROG SSx - FIRST INSTALL/CLEAN INSTALL tutorial) : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?105878-DRIVERS-Realtek-HD-Audio-(HDA)
