I've named this topic - now just need to know what to fill in for it.
I've had very good success with Eugene's VAC and FT8/MSK144 for a long time now - I've never had an issue where a Windows update seemed to bother anything. But I had an update 2 days ago (i believe it was) and now I have audio click and pop issues. I look at the AUDIO tab and the OOPS is updating routinely ... pop...... click, click .... pop ... every 1 - 10 seconds or so. The counter went from 0 to 24 in under a minute. Previous to this last update I was having very few of these.
where might someone go to to check - something Windows might have changed (in their infinite wisdom) that could impact this? please.

Re: Things to check post Windows Update...
Windows updates are famous for damaging audio drivers. More than once I've had to uninstall-reboot-reinstall-reboot-reconfigure Voicemeeter.
Check the sample rates of your devices in the Windows sound control panel. Consider reinstalling any audio devices or drivers.

Thanks Scott... well this is what happened post my note - it might be germane to someone seeing/using this thread.
-this morning, with everything powered up 24/7 as usual, I tried to work someone on 60 FT8 - no transmit signal. It went to TX but nothing showed on the TX pan. Tried this and that - reset the TX Profile (there's a bug in there that still persists re split mode) ... still nothing. In frustration because the spot was for someone I needed on 60M for a new one I restarted the program - nothing. Restarted WSJT-X, nothing, tried running JTDX - same thing. In the latter 2 cases I had the service panel for EUG M VAC program up and it clearly showed audio there on TX.
-rebooted the computer - now when I tried to run PSDR the initial panel with the bar would go about 30% and just disappear. Nothing.
-went in and renamed database to database-x and ran PSDR - completed this time. Imported the 2nd to last database. All has been fine since then...
-and now no more OOPS going on, no more than normal! In 5 minutes of operation zero OOPS - yesterday it would have been hundreds...
