Blue Yeti Microphone- After updating windows 10 to version 1803 my microphone has stopped working (to clarify, it did work completely fine before updating). The microphone shows up in recording devices however the green bar does not move when yelling,tapping,blowing etc in to the mic.

--Things ive tried--
unplugging and removing device, plugging back in and reinstalling drivers
its not muted
restarted pc
updated ALL DRIVERS
the mic works (like i said it worked before i updated)
switching usb
set default device
removed all but the yeti in recording devices

I can tick the box that allows me to "Listen to the device and that seem to let me hear my self but for what ever reason windows or programs wont pick up sound


BTW im not reinstalling windows 10...if thats the only fix, oh well
 
Solution
There's a microphone privacy options page. The latest insider's update has it blocking all apps by default.

Hit Windows key and search for "microphone privacy settings"
Hit "Allow access to the microphone on this device"
Switch "Allow apps to access your microphone" to on
