Hello all:
The old warning came again:
Error Occurred, Flow will now shutdown.
What sort of "Flow" does this warning refers to? What negative thing will be caused by the
"shoutdown" of the "Flow"?

Thank you for joining HP Forums.
I'll be glad to help you 🙂
As I understand you need help with the error-"Flow will now shutdown",
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
We've had a conversation regarding this same concern and you confirmed that the solution provided worked, do you mean the issue has re-occurred? didn't the steps mentioned on this link (Click here) work this time?
The issue refers to a corruption within the audio driver and issue that would follow apart from the annoying error messages is that your audio may stop working.
If you haven't attempted the steps suggested on our previous conversation, please do and get back to me with the results.
It's possible that some program or update that you've recently installed caused the issue to reoccur, hence please attempt a system restore as well.
If you would like to thank me for my efforts to help you,
feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below,
Followed by clicking on "Accept as solution" button for my efforts to help you.
Have a great day!

Hello Riddle:
Yes, the old ERROR is re-occurring.
I did go to ...>Device Manager > Conexant ISST and deleted the ISST
BUT days later, I found that my speaker became dumb.( with a red-cross on the peaker icon).
I suspect that it is from the DELETE of the ISST. I reinstall the w10 and now I dare
not to delete the ISST again!

Thank you for responding,
It's great to have you back 😉
Have you reinstalled the windows using the HP Recovery media,
if not - please do: Click here for details on using the same.
Also, are you currently using the default audio drivers, since you've mentioned that you will not install the ISST again,
And is the audio working now? if not, let me know if you need more information.
Let me know how that pans out
feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon,
followed by clicking on 'Accepted as Solution' as it would help the community gain more knowledge,
And Have a great day Ahead!
