Microphone not working & Weird drive being detected

[LegoLink]

I have two problems that occurred after a Windows update yesterday. A random weird drive is being detected on my computer that I did not plug in or install and now none of my microphones are working on any of the ports on my computer.

 

 

I continued to delay a Windows update yesterday until eventually just said no and forced me to update so I went to sleep not thinking about it. The next day I found a weird new drive detected on my computer that I did not plug in at any point. I've unplugged all usb ports and tried to disconnect this drive but it wont let me and I keep getting spam notifications from windows explorer telling me that this device is running out of disc space. I've checked multiple microphones on multiple ports and nothing. I know they all work and strangely when I test the device playback THEN my computer recognizes its working on the green bar moves but only if that checkbox is enabled and I still cant use the device in programs like discord, skype, audactiy, etc.

See this is why I stayed on 7. If you can, revert and uninstall the update. What is the letter/name of the drive?

Weird... maybe try updating the drivers for your mic, also install malwarebytes and adw cleaner to see if that fixes the notification errors. Links=https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Next lets try to get that drive fixed search in your bottom left and type in create and format hard disk partitions. Find the device in there and see where it is originating from.

Hope this helped

Lol, windows 10 is better in my opinion. 7 is slowly dying. You realllllllllllly don't want to go back to seven. The only difference is that 10 has more ads and sponsor crap that you have to disable through settings. In reality ten is faster.

The basics.

1. 10 is a nsa agent

2. 8 is communist

3.7 is ok

 

I know 7 is dying, 70% of pcs use it today. Yes, 10 is faster but i'm not going through unstoppable updates and file extension changing just for a 5% speed increase. Just giving you my 2 cents.

Well I chose 7 since it was the best out of a bad situation. I would use linux if everyone supported it. Steam for example, half of their games don't run on it. I would use xp if it wasn't so outdated.
