Windows not detecting microphone

Hi, this probably happened with one of the updates for Windows 10 and I just recently found out. My microphone is plugged in (I tried all 3 microphones I have) and Windows just does not see it.

I tried both front and back panel, doesn't work. Also I checked if the cables didn't fall out or something, everything seems to be in the right place.The screenshot was captured when the mic was plugged in.

Any ideas?

You need to reinstall/upgrade your audio drivers; those did not carry over into Windows 10.

thank you, I will try that right now
