M17x R4, SB Recon3Di Control Panel no longer working Windows 10

Question

Sound Blaster Recon3Di Control Panel is no longer working Windows 10 following the Microsoft update to Windows 10 Pro x64 Insider Preview Build 20175 on my Alienware M17x R4.

I've been using it with out any problems for years but now it appears to load but there is no tray icon to click and open.

I KNOW this is an old laptop but being on disability I cannot afford a newer one at the moment. I really like the THX feature of Sound Blaster Recon3Di Control Panel because it gave my old two speaker laptop and pretty decent sound!

By the way the drivers in the image below are what I've been trying today with out any success in getting my Sound Blaster Recon3Di Control Panel to work.

Any assistance would be really appreciated. Thanks.

I had a old 2014 Alienware 15 r1 which had blown speakers but I didn’t know that. I tried installing all the drivers but it wouldn’t work. I had to replace my speakers and it worked again! I only paid $23.78 But it came with a 5 year warranty included.
