    I disabled my microphone. Now I can't start the wizard to re-enable it.
    It fails to start stating no device found.
    How do I get it back?

    Right click on the speaker symbol at the far right in your task bar,
    then click on recording devices, then right click anywhere in the menu
    that comes up and put a check mark in Show Disabled Devices.
    That will allow you to once again enable your mic.

    That worked. Why isn't it in the help and support database?
