Hello after I had recently updated my windows to version 21h1 I had begun to experience a number of issues. after the update my microphone never ran properly the sound that came from the mic was distorted 99% of the time and it never registered my voice but it managed to capture the faint background noise. I checked it with my headset too but, the same result was seen. And another issue is after the update, my windows desktop manager consumed more ram than usual to up to 1.2 GB.
This is a generic Windows 10 troubleshooting issue and unrelated to the tags chosen so I'm updating the tags to appropriately categorize the question.

Hi,
Thanks for posting on our forum!
21H1 version is too new to let us give you reliable troubleshooting and solutions. Just make sure that the issues that you encountered did not occur on your older version. If so, make sure that your microphone and storage configuration are the same before you updated your Windows. If they are the same, then, I suppose the quickest way is to uninstall 21H1 version and re-install your older one. In addition, like @Reza-Ameri suggested, you could post your issue on our feedback website, so that our product team will hear your voice. Here is the link:
Thanks for your understanding and support!
