Bitdefender blocking microphone
When my child is trying to use the microphone during online class (because, you know, pandemic), nothing comes across. Windows 10 troubleshooter can't find anything wrong. Device is not muted. Bitdefender Total Security, no idea which version because they don't make it easy to find out with a simple "About" button, and Bitdefender Central doesn't say either.
If I log the child off and log my account on (Admin role), same problem. If I uninstall Bitdefender and reboot, voila, problem solved.
This is unacceptable performance when devices working properly has become a critical requirement for attending school and doing one's job.

I'm confused about BD's microphone monitor function. I know I can add/remove apps, but it isn't clear what this actually does. It looks like all this does is alert the user if/when a particular app uses the microphone. I suppose than might be helpful, but does BD have the ability to allow/deny use of the microphone? That would be very handy! Sorry if this is off topic - I didn't think it was.

Would love an answer to this and maybe some rewriting of that portion of the program that better describes what it is doing and how to actually block an app
