Fx sound don't show in sound setting

There were known problems about this with Windows 10 Update (see Method 3).

Method 1:

Start → Run → mmsys.cpl
Enable ‘Disabled’ items e.g. FXSound

Method 2:

Uninstall the sound drivers via the Device Manager (without deletion of drivers files).

Windows will redetect the sound drivers and enable the missing devices…

Method 3:

Run the Command prompt as Administrator.

net localgroup Administrators /add networkservice
net localgroup Administrators /add localservice
exit

Reboot
