microphone does not work

After the latest windows 10 (64 bit) update, the microfone does not work anymore. Message:
Error to open the dispositivo de som.

There was a very recent Windows update which restricted certain connections in the computer. It was a good security move, but it didn’t come with a warning and it shut down many connections and services people use every day.

That’s all I got. I read about it.
