LF: For anyone on Windows 10 with a broken USB set up since MS "Upgrade"

[Chris Wilson <dead.fets@gmail.com>]

Hello LF'ers,

It seems Microsoft's Spring upgrade for Win10 has caused some grief in
the USB audio department and WSPR and other audio USB connected apps
have stopped communicating. I avoid 10 like the plague due to updates
breaking stuff and stick with Win7, but was asked to look at a
friend's PC yesterday that had lost USB audio comms with WSJT-X since
the auto update. I searched all over the place until I spotted this
mischievous change MS added to modify his microphone setting, which
may not actually be being used as a microphone in some applications of
course......

Try going to settings/privacy/microphone and set it to "allow applications to
access your (my?) microphone"

Hope  it  helps,  seems  a  lot have been caught out by this nefarious
activity :)
