Does anyone know where I can find the latest Realtek version that installs the classic taskbar control panel icon instead of the Windows Store version of the control panel?
I believe you need to install the older/legacy HDA driver to get that. With the modern UAD versions you get the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app...
You shouldn't say fake drivers if they are not WHQL certified. They are still valid and used. UAD drivers are understanding between manufacturers to make drivers with common framework and UI. They are not inferior than old HDA. Adapt to them or keep with old drivers. No complaining.
