I would give the other 3 options mentioned in the first guide:

• STEP 3: Use HitmanPro to scan for malware and unwanted programs
• (Optional) STEP 4: Reset the browser settings to their original defaults
• (Optional) STEP 5: Double-check for malicious programs with Zemana AntiMalware
  

a go.

And I would start with Step 4, resetting your browser

 

Enable auto popup dialog whenever a device is plugged in

Hi Joshua,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To have clarity on your query, kindly help us with the following information:

• What is the make and mode and model of your PC?
  
• What is the make and model of your sound card?
  

Ideally, these controls are managed by your sound card drivers. If you’re using Realtek sound card, I suggest you to enable the auto popup dialog whenever a device is plugged in, in the Realtek HD Manager and see if it works.

• Open Control Panel and categorize by
  Small Icons.
  
• Locate Realtek HD Audio Manager and open the same.
  
• Click on the small folder icon below Device Advanced Settings
  and to the right of Analog Back Panel.
  
• Check Enable auto popup dialog, when device has been plugged in and
  Save the changes.
  
• Exit Realtek HD Audio Manager, reboot the machine and plug in your headset to see if it works.
  

Regards,
