Realtek Audio Driver Looping on Windows 10

I just built my first computer (parts list here, if relevant) and went with Windows 10 for the operating system. My computer is booting up, the windows updates are up to date, and all of the drivers are working properly except for the Realtek Audio driver.

When I run the Realtek Audio driver, the window that opens lets me know that the install is a four step process:

1. The program will uninstall all existing Realtek drivers
2. The system will reboot
3. The program will install the new drivers
4. The system will reboot

However, what actually happens is the program says that it is uninstalling drivers, and then prompts for a restart. When I restart the program automatically opens up again, says it is uninstalling drivers, then prompts for a restart. Over, and over, and over, and over again. I have tried manually deleting the drivers from the device manager, and that does not work.

Another possibly relevant piece of information: when the computer restarts, occasionally audio will work until the driver setup program relaunches. Then it plays a waing noise if I click cancel, and audio stops. I assume that this occurs during what should be the install step, but the program just continues to uninstall instead.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to get this off the ground for a while now!
