What's the more complete description of "not run"?
Have you tried copying them all to a directory for which you
are sure you have permission and run them as administrator?
Might also be useful to try to run them in compatibility mode.
Depends on that description of "not run".

By 'not run' I meant would 'not install'. IE when I double clickl on
..exe driver. Yes I tried running as administrator, No change.

Don't use your normal User account to install the driver. Install

Go back into Device Manager and uninstall the old driver and reboot and then
try installing it again.

Make sure the driver has come from a valid source.

One web page claims this message comes from SmartScreen.

The article here recommends starting an Administrator command
prompt window and running the executable that does the
install from there.

https://www.howtogeek.com/230063/how...in-windows-10/

I'm really surprised there is differentiated behavior here,
and that doing it that way is somehow different/better. But
it's worth a try.

I tried the command window approach to disable. Same result.

The other suggestion in the article, is this one. To enable
the hidden administrator account, and do if from there. There's
no particular reason for this to work any better.

This at least got rid of the error. I tried the realtek audio driver
again, and it says the system 'does not meet the standards of the
driver'. Prob because I am in W10? Anywho, that does not make sense
because I did have sound. Maybe an audio card is the only way out.
Gotta find a cheap one. Have to open up the box to see what kind of
slots are in the mobo.

Thanks

Happy to hear you got it working.
I had a similar experience with just trying to update the driver because I

When I finally uninstalled the old one ,rebooted and installed the driver
again, it worked.
