I'm failing to see an issue here. Why not just grant textnow the permissions required to make calls? Any app/website that you want to use to make calls is going to need those permissions.
I did alow and granted but the error stays there
Press the Windows and "i" keys simultaneously, click "Privacy", then "Microphone" in the left window and make sure microphone access is turned on and that apps are allowed to use your microphone.

Scroll down on that page and see if Textnow is listed and turned on.

Does anything work correctly on that machine of your's? I'd be doing a full reinstall if my machine was that buggy and unreliable.
