New Messenger app for Windows has microphone access problems

This is similar to the issues seen with Messenger running on a web browser, but I'm creating a new thread because it was so long ago and Windows 10 has been through many releases since then.
A Summary of the problem:
Upon launching the app, and starting a call (audio or audio+video) an error screen appears:






Following previous advice, I checked the Microphone Privacy setting (through Settings > Privacy > Microphone) and find that Microphone is turned ON, but also it shows it was accessed at the time I launched the Messenger app and got the Microphone access error.


I have checked that the Microphone is working under Windows (Settings > System > Sound > Input) and can see Microphone ribbon moving when I speak.




Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
