Windows 10: How do I unmute my laptop?

I muted my laptop to work, but when I try to unmute it I can't do it. I've clicked the mute key, click it in the notification center, and tried troubleshooting my device. Nothing. I can use Bluetooth headphones, which provides sound. It seems like I have tried everything but still can't solve this problem.

Can't unmute microphone?

Hi,

In general, the microphone is on mute. We'd like to clarify following steps that you've done and ask you a few questions:

• When you unmute the microphone, is it via Recording tab under
  Recording devices?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Are there any newly installed applications that may have caused this?
• Is this an on going issue or recent?
