Windows 10: new skype installation: camera, microphone, speakers: no device found

Skype just installed and I just used it successfully for calling a landline.

In settings it complains camera, microphone, speakers: no device found -- and there is no method to repair this, only a weblink, with no information about the problem.


So - how to repair this?


Skype version 8.30.0.73
