Windows 10: WINDOWS CLEAN BOOT BROKE MY MIC?

So I couldn't connect to EA Servers. I did a clean boot and successfully connected, but then my USB Device was not detected. That USB device was my mic. So I did anything a regular person would do. Updated audio drivers, updated windows, and restarted my PC... Nothing. It wasn't working. So I plugged in my mic into my 2016 MacBook Air. Nothing at all. My mic is not working on any device. So I was wondering what happened to it.

List your specs out and tell us each step in cleaning you did.

The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.
