Cannot access the Sound control panel
This has been happening for a while, but i never felt the need to fix it because I never actually "needed" to be here. Until one day the microphone decides to turn off and I can't really do anything.
When I right click on the sound button on the task bar, it shows five options. When I press on "playback devices" or "recording devices", literally nothing happens. That's that. I read some other forums that's similar but is still different from this, plus I am not exactly a computer guy and pretty much needs instructions for quite a bit. I have also tried accessing the sound control panel from settings but still nothing happens. No error message, no loading symbol, nothing. (My sound drivers are up to date too.)
