Perform a System Restore to a date before you uninstalled the microphone before proceeding with any driver reinstallation or further steps.

 

Note- Personal files won't be affected (documents, photos, etc.) but:

  • Any programs installed after that restore point will be removed
  • Any driver updates after that date will be rolled back to older versions

 

How to do System Restore:
1. Press Win + R, type sysdm.cpl and press Enter
2. Go to the System Protection tab
3. Click System Restore
4. Click Choose a different restore point
5. Select a date before you uninstalled the microphone
6. Click Next → Finish → confirm to restart

 

After the restore completes, your microphone should be back to its previous working state. Then avoid uninstalling it again.
