Latest Windows Update removed headset from sound Playback list
I put off installing some update for a little while, and when I did today, I noticed that I couldn't switch from my headset to my speakers in the Playback tab of the Sound box. I used to do this constantly, it was easy and seamless. My headset still do work, and in fact, when they are plugged in I literally cannot switch to my speakers, as the computer claims that the speakers are the currently selected playback device. But the sound is playing through my headset.
A temporary solution to my problem is simply unplugging my headset. When they are unplugged, the computer switches back to the speakers, when they are plugged in the computer switches back to the headset.
Why did this update have to mess this up? xD Everything was just fine before, it seems like a situation of fixing something that wasn't broken, resulting in breaking it.
Additionally, now it's a chore to access the Sound box in order to look at the playback, recording, sounds, and communications tabs as right clicking the sound icon in Windows doesn't give me an instant option to it. Kinda reminds me of how you can't easily get to the Status box for your wifi....... Very disappointing how the windows update had created more unnecessary problems.

Please feel free to ask if I need to supply more information. Additionally, I'd love
