WIN10 - Can't unmute, why?

[Windows Central Question]

WIN10 - Can't unmute

I muted the sound and cannot unmute it. When I play music I can see that the speakers are showing the sound level but there is no sound. Restart helps this, but basically when I mute I cannot unmute the sound.

Were you able to find a solution? I have the same problem.

On the right of your toolbar, right-click on speakers, and open volume mixer. This usually showed up when you left-clicked it in Windows 8.1 or before. Certain programs could be muted.
