[SOLVED] Microphone quit working after 1803 update

Privacy options!

You now have to control which apps get access to hardware like the microphone, camera, etc. It appears the default in 1803 is to turn off microphone access even to the audio troubleshooters! Thanks to https://superuser.com/questions/129...ng-on-windows-10-version-1803-insider-preview after spending a fruitless hour de-installing and then re-installing RealTek and AMD drivers!

Same thing happened to me. That was a frustrating hour or so for sure.

The strange thing is that I always had that setting marked to "off" and it still worked in the past.
