Audio service is not running on Windows 10 after 1803 update

My audio stopped working this morning out of the blue. I had recently updated Windows 10 to version 1803 and have read a couple of articles that say it's somehow related to it. But it was working yesterday and I did the update a week ago without having any problems whatsoever.
I know that it's complaining about the services, and my best bet is to look at the windows services.msc, so I found out that Windows Audio was set to automatic but did not start. And whenever I try to start it, I get a 0x8007005: Access denied error.
Which then led me to another article and told me to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServiceswcncsvc and change the permission to full grant. But I still am getting the access denied error anyways.
Is there a fix or am I forced to either downgrade, do a system restore, etc..?

Scan your system for an infection, something changed the windows audio permissions a week after the update.

re check that registry permission to be sure the changes stuck. Also was it a full system scan or quick scan?

had the same problem, the normal recommendation for restarting "windows audio" via services.msc didnt work for me. finally figured it out.
open services.msc
find "Windows audio"
right-click on it, properties->log on tab-> select "log on as local system account"
