I owe you helpful persons some sort of reply and hope I haven't wasted your time. I intend to have Reps on all of you so let me know if I missed someone.

I have come to this conclusion and you may...

Thank you sir. Believe it or else . . . that didn't stop the mic from being hot. It shows disabled. When I go to Sound settings where you can test the mic it shows no device in the dive present. Mic...

Would you kindly PLEASE tell me who and where suggested to VIEW the registry to see what is using my microphone. Why do people have to be so darned uppity about teaching or talking to laymen? My...

Moving on from Cortana. I mentioned above I turned if off. I was saying that the only step I hadn't tried was #5 and wasn't interested in using the registry.

I have still found no way to turn the...

When I open Cortana I do not see the mic icon so I'm going to say mr/ms Cortana doesn't have permissions. I have just run through all these and the mic is still hot???? And it's still on.

I have a PC W10 updated (1909). I just noticed by accident that the mic is on while I'm running no programs that need it.

I've read a lot of fixes, if I have followed them correctly, they have not...

Yeah, that looks like something I want to read. However in the last few moments I tried the 1909 again and it went on to installing relatively quickly. I suspect because it was already in the system....

I always choose just for me. In all my years of adding programs, since 1996, most programs put a shortcut on the desktop. I usually just delete them or chose now most times no shortcut for the...

I became dyslexic there for a moment. Yes, 1809 is on this tablet. So where on another post is said that I should do a Clean Install. I've done that on a PC but never on a tablet. I would have...

Hmmm! Page not found on your link. I remember it like it said storage was low and was the SD allowable to continue. I chose yes and it moved on. I don't remember it like it asking for a new default...

Windows 10 tablet had 1908.

Tablet had just been factory reset. Did a few updates and I noticed it said you can download and install 1909.

Either while downloading or installing I gave it...

Yes, I'm sure that's good but I have hardly a thing running. It says on my tasktray I'm only using 24% of my Ram. These are just stubborn application icons, not the regular shortcuts like most...

Windows 10 tablet. Looks like it has downloaded 1909 successfully and is installing it as I type. I see there is a 2020-02 Cumulative Update Pending for 1908.

Would downloading this 1908 update...

I tried moving them into a folder I place temporary documents, etc. When I do it says there is not enough memory. Try again and Try Again does not work?

As soon as I can get to and I get resolution I will surely return here. Post and give you the "solved." thanks again. (patience. LOL I seem to have 2 things planned a day and 10 unplanned things...

I will try those out soon. Thanks greatly for taking your time. I did add good stuff to the reputation. ":-Dx

I have a fairly new Windows 10 tablet. I almost despise it. I do not know if it's Windows issues or the tablet itself but seems every time I find a solve and apply it then it will change another...

I am not trying to take your time believe me pls. But to answer your last questions. I have had PC's since 1987. From the Command Prompt days, 8086 and 8088 processor, then Win3.1, 95, XP and Win8...

I have been able to go to the Store and load and use apps since this PC was purchased as a Win8. Never had this problem. I feel it's a result of an un-asked for update. I"ll let it go now. Thanks...

dalchina: I have many restore points but this goes back several months and I'd lose way to many things I've done on the pc since. In-place repair install? Sounds like something I've tried. I'll...
