Windows 10: My default Mic setting keeps changing when I turn on my computer in the Xbox Windows button...

I have 3 mics hooked up to my computer. A VR headset, a boom mic, and my wireless headset I turn on after I turn on my pc. The XBox window's window button + G default mic keeps switching to my VR headset where as my pc keeps it to my wireless nonVRheadset. Mind you it'll keep it like that a few times I turn on my computer, but I could be in the middle of something I'd lose all my progress and time before I realize that I can't communicate to anyone with out grabbing the VR headset or fixing the settings and having to close the game and restart it.

Default Printer keeps changing in Windows 10

Hi John,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that the default Printer keeps changing after you restart the computer.

1. Did this issue started recently? If yes, then what are the recent changes that you have made to the computer prior to this issue?
   

Method 1:

I suggest you to try turning off “let Windows manage your default printer” and check if you are still facing the issue. To do so follow the steps below:

Open Start and select Settings
> Devices > Printers & scanners. Turn off
Let Windows manage my default printer.





If you still have issues, please follow the suggestion in method 2.

Method 2:


Registry disclaimer: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the

Please take a backup of the registry. Follow the steps given in the link below:

Xbox controller turns off after first button press

I have two xbox one controllers. Both have worked wonderfully until a few weeks ago. The controllers continue to work fine on a fresh boot. After putting my computer to sleep and then waking it up, the controller will turn off after I press a single button. Repro steps:

1. Put computer to sleep, then wake it up
   
2. Turn on controller with USB controller receiver plugged in
   
3. Wait as long as you want (note, controller stays connected)
   
4. Press any button on the controller (computer accepts input from single button, then controller turns off)
   
5. Repeat indefinitely until computer is restarted
   

Other confounding factors: If I have Windows event viewer or Device manager focused, I can press as many buttons on the controller as I like, and it will not turn off. The instant I focus another window, it turns the controller off.

Things I have tried:

• Uninstalled the one windows update that was installed around the time this started.
  
• Installed windows 10 21H2 update
  
• Uninstalled Xbox controller driver
  
• Uninstalled xbox accessories app
  
• reinstalled xbox accessories app
  
• checked for firmware updates in xbox accessories app
  
• use a different controller (I have two different controllers, both with the exact same behavior)
  
• Move the USB reciever to a different USB port
  

No matter what I try, this behavior persists until a reboot. Both controllers will then work perfectly until the computer goes to sleep, and the problem recurs.

 

Mic keeps Automatically Adjusting on Windows 10

I've done these multiple times. The apply button never unlocks itself so I can apply after I adjust my mic settings. My mic keeps muting itself. Please help me.
