If you are not comfortable or familar working with the registry we would strongly suggest leaving it to a professional (you can call us on 01293 562 700!). The fix is fairly technical and uses the Registry Editor (regedit) to make changes to your computers registry. The update fixed many issues ( you can see them listed here) but as with many major updates it also caused problems and unintended side effects.įor me the major issue caused by the 1809 update was that it stopped my abilty to screen share on Skype for Business.Īs I work remotly from my colleagues this was a very big deal and a problem that I had to find a solution to.Īfter some googling I was able to find a fix as detailed by a user called AVS-Admin on Microsoft's website. If you have found a solution that works but was not shared in this post, please do share it with us and we will list with due credit to you.In October 2018 Microsoft released the Windows 10 October Update (version 1809). So make sure to go through all the steps mentioned in the guide to resolve the issue. The microphone issue is not something new however some of the solutions mentioned in this guide are. Skype is a great software however not without its flaws. If it is available, click on it then enable it. To do so, in the same menu, you will find Set as default device option. That way, you won’t have to go through all the troubleshooting steps the next time you open Skype to chat with your friends and relatives. There is also an option to make the connected Bluetooth device as your default device. Note that the second listing should stay enabled. If it is not disabled, to do so, right-click on the hands-free Bluetooth headphone option and select Disable to disable it. The first option is the hands-free option which should be disabled if you want to use the connected headphone’s microphone.
