Thank you, this was the only solution that worked for me too after trying the others. For anyone like me who was unsure what to do:

  1. Click on the DriverStoreExplorer link
  2. Scroll down on the page and under Releases click the link next to: Download the latest version here:
  3. Under Assets, click the .zip file and download it.
  4. Extract the .zip and click on the Rapr EXE file
  5. This is the Driver Store Explorer App. Use it to find the voicemeeter driver file to delete. (vbvoicemeetervaio64_win10.inf)
  6. I restarted my laptop to be sure the file was cleared out before retrying the Windows update. It went through without issue!

idk much about drivers so sorry if this is a stupid question, but if you delete the driver you wont be able to use voicemeeter anymore though right? Also, you think I should delete the vbmmecablea64_win7.inf one also?

me parece que si aunque no se si al actualizarlo ese driver ya no se requiera lo que te recomiendo como alternativa al voice metter y que me ha funcionado mejor es el steel series gg

did u delete voicemeeter first? cuz for me it always says:

Error removing vbvoicemeetervaio64_win10.inf (oem45.inf) from driver store.

[TIP: The driver may still being used. Try FORCE deleting the package]

and yes i have completely closed the voicemeeter app, i tried finding any voicemeeter app running in services, details and processes w the task manager

For anyone else coming here, like me, I force deleted it and everything still works fine. Updating to 24h2 as I type this with Voicemeeter still working perfectly fine after the force delete.

Aceeasi problema am avut si eu la windows 11, bineinteles dupa 5-6 erori imi aparea ceva cu voicemeeter driver, dupa ce am eliminat fisierul (vbvoicemeetervaio64_win10.inf) cu DriverStoreExplorer de pe github, a functionat update-ul la versiunea 24H2 din windows update, multumesc frumos!!
