Windows 10: Windows 10 headphones and speakers bug

I have a Dell G7 laptop. Here's the problem:

1. I plug in my headphones/earphones to the headphone jack. Works just fine.
2. I keep the headphones plugged in, and then turn off my PC.
3. I then unplug the headphones, and turn the PC on again.
4. The computer thinks the headphones are still plugged in and the speakers don't work.

I have to plug and unplug the headphones again while the PC is on, for the speakers to work. Is this a bug? How do I fix this?
