[Elecraft] Windows Update and the K3 USB Audio

I am sure many will be required to update Win10 to the supported 
version.  I think 10/19 is the drop dead date on the current version for 
support, not exactly sure.

Any who,  I did mine yesterday and of course it hosed up my nicely 
labeled Codec audio entries in the Windows Sound Control Panel.   It was 
not hard to get back in business and rename them, but as a note to 
others it recognized mine as Mono audio devices, hence I needed to 
change them manually to a stereo device (2 channel is the windows term) 
in the Sound Control Panel.

My K3s was not connected to the computer USB when I did the update.   I 
am now curious if this issue would be resolved if the K3 USB was indeed 
plugged into the computer during the update.  I am going to try it 
during the next update.

I hope this may save some others,  some pain during the update process
