If there are other performance problems then go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done. If this was caused by a Version update (which you can confirm at Settings > System > About) then for ten days you can roll back Version in Settings>Update & Security>Recovery and hide it until it matures using the Hide Updates Tool downloaded from here. Then hide the Updates using the Hide Updates tool downloaded from here. It's possible this was caused by a Windows Update so if nothing above works, go to Settings>Update & Security>Windows Update, check the Installed Updates list for Updates that might have been just installed, try uninstalling them using the Uninstall button present there. When did this behavior begin? If you have an idea you might be able to System Restore back to a point before it began. If no newer driver then uninstall the ones presently installed in Device Manager, reached by right clicking the Start Button. While there make sure you also have the latest Chipset, Display, Network, USB and all other drivers, comparing with the version presently installed in Device Manager. Update the Sound drivers from the PC's Support Downloads web page. Choose Sound controller device, then Driver tab, then Roll back if available. Try rolling back the sound controller drivers in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu. Type Microphone in Start Search, open Set up Microphone, scroll down to Microphone and choose Get started to set it up. Right click the volume icon in System Tray at right end of task bar, open Recording Devices, see if the microphone is listed, set it as Default device. Restart and then disable Hibernate file to clear it, restart PC again and enable Hibernate again. Some report that what worked is turning off Fast Startup at Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional Power Settings > Choose what Power buttons do > Change Settings Currently Unavailable > uncheck the box for Fast Startup, Save Settings. Please run the Recording Sound troubleshooter at Start button > Settings>Update & Security>Troubleshoot. Even if you've already tried one I'd do it in this order as one step may affect the next.
