Windows 10: Microphone not registering.

After recently 2 days ago updating to the new version of Windows, my microphone on my headset has not been functioning. In Sounds I only have two recording options, the default internal microphone, and the Stereo Mix Realtek Audio, which doesn't recieve any input. I have made sure that I am showing disconnected and disabled devices, but still nothing. Is anyone else having similar issues or does anyone know how I can fix this?

Windows not registering programs as requiring microphone

I am using an application that requires microphone input, and for the last few months, there has been an inability for any audio input to function through the app. I finally figured out that windows is not registering the app as one that requires a microphone,
and is denying it access to using the mic. My question is if there is any way to add applications to the list of permissions under the microphone tab in the privacy settings. (The app I am using is Discord)
