[QUOTE="Nooby, post: 828259, member: 81555"] Thanks for your response! Perhaps, although I used it in the past on Windows 10 and never had any indication that it was trying to access my microphone (but I understand that it does not mean that the new version and the website are still trustworthy). Thanks for your response and explanation! :) I found that method online, but in my case I want to see a log of all the apps that tried to access my mic/camera (the microphone icon did not show up in the task bar because the app was blocked from accessing the mic). Thanks for your reply! It is my understanding that Cortana is not active on my pc (when I go to control panel --> Contana, it says that there is no language that matches the market for my device ... which means Contana is not running, unless I don't understand how it works). Should I be worried ? or just assume that some Window's service\Contana suddenly decided to access my mic..? By the way, I scanned my PC with Windows defender, Malwarebytes and Spybot S&D and no threats were found. However, I still would like to find a way to see all the apps that were trying to access my mic/camera or that actually gained access to my camera/mic (I read somewhere that Windows does not provide a hermetic protection in this regard and that the blocking mechanism can be bypassed). Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
