Troubleshooting

Hotkey Issues in Full-Screen Applications or applications running with administrator privileges

• Problem: MicMute hotkeys might stop working when certain applications, particularly full-screen games (like Oxygen Not Included) or applications running with administrator privileges, are in the foreground. This can lead to the microphone staying on unexpectedly.
• Cause: Windows security mechanisms can prevent hotkey signals from reaching applications running with standard user privileges when an application with administrator privileges is active.
• Solution: Run MicMute.exe with administrator rights. This allows MicMute to receive hotkey signals regardless of which application is currently active or its privilege level. To do this, right-click the MicMute.exe file and select "Run as administrator". For persistent use, you can configure the executable or a shortcut to always run as administrator.
• See this comment for auto starting as administrator: #48 (comment)
