    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?

    :)

    How to allow IMO Messenger to use microphone in windows 10?

    I have installed IMO Messenger recently on Windows 10 Laptop. It can access Camera but can't access microphone to capture my voice. I have looked at Setting>>Privacy>>Microphone and found that there is no sign of IMO Messenger. Other apps (like Skype) can access the microphone quit well. How can I allow it to access my microphone? please help.
