'Windows Audio Service needs restart' error appearing!

Anything that doesn't fit into other topics goes here!
Hello everyone. I am not able to use the Software on my Windows 10 PC. While using it, the same error "Windows Audio Service needs restart" appears randomly. The error keeps coming back no matter how many times I restart the PC. Can anyone help me to solve the issue? Any kind of response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

-A few rules and useful forum instructions
If you like to introduce yourself, to the community, go here:

as a windows user, the correct backend is SDL
Please set that up in Edit| Settings| Audio-tab
Then restart your pc, and lmms.
I hope that will do.
If it does not We need to know the version of your LMMS
Also only get LMMS here:
https://lmms.io/download#windows
If you compiled your own, do try an official dl.
1.3 is fine, it is stable and trustworthy
If the issue persist, It is likely a hardware issue, or a driver component, but we can back to that, if nothing of the above fix your problem.
I appreciate your response. I downloaded it from its official website. However, the problem was with Windows itself. Using solution number 2 from this article, I manually restarted Windows Audio Service. And it solved my issue.
