Windows 10: Problem with Blue Yeti Microphone after recent update from Windows 10

So after a recent update to Windows 10 on either 5/14/18 or 5/15/18, my microphone as ceased to function. I have spent around 5 hours in my free time trying to get it to work with other programs. I have a Blue Yeti Microphone and it was working perfectly fine before the windows update. I know the microphone is still working by itself because I have listened to it and heard my own voice very clearly. Now my the sounds tab acknowledges that it knows that the mic is there, but the bars that indicate detected sound do not light up green. All of my applications that use the mic can see that the mic is plugged in but audio will not transmit to the application. I have removed the device and plugged it back in, checked for the most recent drivers, and used the troubleshooter. None of these seem to fix it. I have tried this with my webcam mic and it is having the same problem. At this point, I am led to believe that one of two things is happening. Either both of the mics lost compatibility on the same windows update or the windows update brought along something that is interfering with the transmission of the physical audio to the applications. I would really appreciate the help and could provide screenshots of what happens if need be. My computer will not recognize the mic when I plug it in. It only says: USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED The last USB device connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. I cannot reinstall the drivers to my mic as trying to find the mics drivers they are nowhere to be seen! I went as far as resetting my whole computer and got all my files deleted to make this work, it did not work! Please help me:

Blue Yeti Microphone not working

Hi JawadFromFrance,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you to work on this issue. I understand that you are unable to connect Blue yeti Microphone to the computer.



As per the Error Code 43 "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems, we will need to reinstall the driver for the device again. For more information see,

Error codes in Device Manager in Windows.



However, as you have already tried uninstalling the device from Device Manager, I would suggest you to check if the device works in any other Window computer.



You may want to check the Blue Yeti website for drivers and see if there are drivers available for the particular model.



As you have mentioned that the Microphone is not working in Mac as well, I suspect it could be an issue with the Microphone. The best point of contact would be the

Blue Yeti support.

Blue Yeti Microphone not detected by Windows 10!

Just recently, I decided that I wanted to make a YouTube channel, and post videos of commentaries and such. I had been working

with my headset that had a mic already, which was a Razer Kraken, but I wanted to upgrade because of how annoying the actual mic was, and I was not satisfied with the quality of the microphone. I already submitted a ticket to Blue Microphones support, but
wanted to see if I could find a solution faster, rather than waiting "48 hours" for a response. I bought the Blue Yeti microphone off of eBay, but it was brand new.

The seller had only used it once, and he had a good amount of sales with positive feedback, so I went ahead and bought it. It worked absolutely perfectly for about a month or so, until I updated my Windows. After updating my windows, I went to plug
in my Blue Yeti, and there was no sound indication that a device was plugged in, nor was there a notification. I thought that that was strange, so I double
checked to make sure the Yeti was getting power, which it was and still does.

After looking around in the audio settings, I found that my microphone was not even being detected. It was
not showing as a

generic audio device, a disconnected audio device, or even a disabled audio device. The same was for the recording section. I have spent weeks looking for a solution to this, and to my dismay I have not found one. I tried
following multiple steps from other posts on multiple different forums, one being from here, and none of the troubleshooting steps worked. Either,
A) There was something different for me than what was supposed to show, or
B) There was nothing at all. Please, I could really use some help in resolving this issue, and I am extremely frustrated, as for almost an entire month now I have not been able to upload. I also discovered that my Razer headset's microphone
does not work anymore, or at least correctly anyway.



If any extra details are needed, just let me know and I will try my best to provide them.

EDIT: I tried changing usb ports (2.0 to 3.0, vice versa) and that did not help or change anything at all. My cables are not the issue either, as they do not grow how or show any signs of damage/wear. (Mini USB) It came with the microphone, and
it was the one that the company Blue Yeti had included in the box.
