Windows 10: Re-enabling audiojack popup

I disabled the popup that asks you what you just plugged in to your headphone jack a long time ago, because at the time I was using regular headphones and the window popping up whenever it got jostled was a problem. But I'm not anymore, and I want to connect something as a line-in device, but can't. Partially because the line-in device, under the sound options, shows as being assigned to a rear jack that isn't there (I'm on a laptop). I have Conexant ISST Audio and something called Bang and Olafson audio control panel which seems to be all enhancements. So this is a two-part question How do I re-enable that popup and is it possible to reassign the line-in option to another jack (well, my only jack)?

I thought that maybe, like the Realtek cards, there might be a control panel for it under hardware and sound but there isn't, so went and reinstalled my audio driver just in case, and picked over all the sound settings I could find, not sure where to go from here.

Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

File Explorer jump list doesn't consistently show location popups


Thanks for your reply.

Whatever "it" is exactly, all I know is, it does not behave consistently. This is so across multiple systems. Also, it isn't just recent items, but pinned items that fail to produce the popup on mouse over (when they should).

If the File Explorer setting you're referring to is "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items," I already have that turned on.

Based on my tests, I tend to think this is a bug. Did you try reproducing it?

1. Right click File Explorer in taskbar to open the jump list.
2. Mouse over any of the pinned or recent folders and see if the popup with the location path appears (as shown in the screenshot with the original post).
3. If it does appear, close out of the jump list by left clicking anywhere outside of it.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you find the popups not appearing. In my experience, it always occurs, even if not right away. And all too often when I need them most.
