Windows 10: Headset is working, but not showing up in control panel

My sound wasn't working on my headset or speakers on my laptop, so I updated my PC to fix it. It worked, and my headset and speakers work too, but now my headset is not showing up in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Sound.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Because I want to change the sound quality of it and add audio enhancements.
