Like you I installed 26200.7628 on my laptop. And Equalizer APO is still working on my laptop speakers and headphones. On which devices do you have Equalizer APO?
I guess you have also tried to remove Equalizer APO from a device and then install it again.

cant rill back update but ibdid a backup just before and i rolled pc back
removed eq and downloaded update installed eq and it wont start.

When saying "won't start" do you mean that you can't start up the Configuration Editor?
No it opens but no change to audio, dorry for not being more clear.

No problem.
So you have done whats being said in this section of the wiki.
Have you tried all APO techniques in the "Install as" dropdown box? Remember that for any change in the troubleshooting options you need to invoke it by clicking the "Ok" button. Unfortunately the developer hasn't implemented an "Apply" button.
Yes tried everything listed search internet and other opitions, it's just
not working. I was hoping you have somenother hits,tips toget it to work.

I understand. And you did the usual things so that's good thinking and doing.
One thing you need to check. If your Peace configuration has an audio device selected this device might point to a former one which the Windows update removed. Generally Peace is pretty good at finding the new installed device but it might not in your case. It's easy to check. After loading a config look if the device is the last one in the Peace devices list and if the device is mentioned above it. That's the new one.
Also, you should try to get Equalizer APO going on another audio device, just to see if Equalizer APO is working in general. If you get it going on at least one other device then we know Equalizer APO can work on your PC after the Windows update.
Thanks for the tips i will tey them. Also im not sure i mentioned this, i
did a restore from my backup, day before the win11 out of band was
pushed. (KB5078127) (26200.7628)
After the restore eveything was working fine, along with eq apo and peace,
after the system updated thwbout of band patch it all quit again.
Im thinking of restoring again and just not installing the patch. It
appears it is only a patch to fix things from last patch, which my pc had
no problems.
I will install both eq apo and peace on my laptop and i stall the out of
bound patch and see if eq apo and peace stop working.
I will update after.
Thanks!

OK I restored my system to a time before the bad patch (KB5074109) and
it seems MS has taken it down, there was only a security update and a
another update, after I installed and system reboot, peace detected the
change and opening the config making sure only my speakers and headphone
we enabled, it works fine.
Thank for your help, but it was the patch that was suppose to fix the
bad patch that broke it.
Have a great day!
Mike

Great to hear you have found a solution through restoring. I wonder what happens when Microsoft does push this in some new update. I hope things keep on working.
