Windows 10, up-to-date. Audacity 3.1.3. After Windows crash, reinstall shows error message when “record” icon pressed.
Error opening recording device.
Error code: 0 Success.
Uninstalling and reinstall as administrator or user doesn’t work. After Windows program uninstall, message says to remove (some) items manually. How? If this is done will full fresh reinstall work?
