Hi,
In recent time, I have noticed that my microphone was in usage. At first glance, I thought it was a desktop app but then I realized that it wasn't. It is a system app that is using it. This happens on both computers that I own. One runs windows 10 and the other windows 11. All of his started after the last update received. I have found the solution to the problem but I would like to ask why is this happening in the first place?
