Windows 10: How Can I Mute the Hotkeys Microphone?

Every time I press control + m I always get a notification "hotkeys muted" or "hotkeys unmuted" over the microphone. I've tried several different methods to cease this but to no avail.

microphone mutes itself

When i go into properties the mike is muted. When I unmute it works for less than a minute then mutes again. The only suggestion I have found is set as default device which does not solve problem. I have also read it is a virus but I cannot solve with malware or virus scans. It first became a problem just a few weeks ago while skyping. Never had a problem with mike until then.

Troubleshooter finds the microphone muted and fixes, Within a minute the microphone mutes itself again.

 

Windows Explorer is muting microphone

Hi Jozef,

To help you stop your microphone from muting automatically, we suggest that you follow the steps suggested by

thread that talks about the same issue.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you.

 

Are custom hotkeys possible?

OK I've been able to make a custom hotkey in Vent.

Run vent, select the arrow beside the drop-down menu of "Bindings".

Click "New", give it a name ("Mute"), then click "Add", select "Toggle Mute Microphone", select the hotkey to use, then OK.

Before connecting to a server select the "Mute" bind you just made.
