Under Windows 10, version 1903 or later, updated in May 2019, the Settings application receives a number of changes, including a new header on the home page that allows you to act quickly, for example, when logging in and managing your account. It also gives you a “simple overview” of the system status, for example when updates are available.

Settings is a universal application provided with Windows 10. It is designed to replace the traditional control panel for touch screen, mouse and keyboard users. It consists of several pages that contain new options for configuring Windows 10 as well as old options from the classic control panel. Each version of Windows 10 converts more and more classic options in the Settings application into a modern page. At some point, Microsoft may completely remove the classic control panel. read more

After upgrading to Windows 10, many Windows users find that they cannot access the Microphone Enhancement tab in the microphone settings like their old Windows 8.1 or 7 computer. This makes it difficult for them to adjust microphone gain or sound effects.

The microphone gain is designed to improve the sound of specific audio equipment. The No Microphone Enhancement tab makes it difficult to work optimally with audio devices, and you could have a terrible experience in gaming or video playback. In addition, sound problems such as no sound, microphone not working, high definition Windows 10 IDT audio errors, audio recording errors, etc. are not associated with an Audio/Microphone Enhancement tab. If you encounter the problem of the missing extension tab on your Windows 10 computer, you can go to the Solutions section. read more
