Windows 10: How do I turn on microphone access on Windows 10?

The screen comes up with all the microphone options that are all turned off--but does not give the option to turn the microphone access back on with the options.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Microphone

Hi ClashRoyale6789.

I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

Check the microphone privacy settings.

1. Press "Windows + I" and select "Privacy & security > Microphone";

2. Make sure "Microphone access" is turned on;

3. Look for affected apps and see if the microphone access is allowed;

(These apps will only be on the list if they were installed using the Microsoft Store. If they were not installed using the Microsoft Store, see step 4)

4. At the end of the list, see if "Let desktop apps access your microphone" is turned on.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions.
