Blue Yeti Not Working

[Kevin013150]

So last night, i was messing around with my computer and the sound on my blue yeti, and i wanted to try muting my mic another way then clicking the button on the Blue Yeti, so i went into the sound thing on my computer (https://gyazo.com/42688682584e8590604108ce879a1e0a) And there was a text where it said Blue Yeti, so i right clicked it and clicked inactivate, and boom, it wasn't there anymore, and this was the only thing i saw (https://gyazo.com/d7f751cdeb7ab88670b9418fcee66172) I tried right clicking again and i clicked on show deactivated stuff, but my blue yeti still didn't show up. I tried going into Device Manager and try finding my blue yeti, but nope it wasn't there, i tried changing USB but still doesn't work. Any other headset and mic works right now, but not the blue yeti. I tried reinstalling the computer but nope, didn't work either. I also tried plugging the blue yeti into my other computer, and that worked 100%.

Thanks if anyone that trys help me, i haven't been able to go on the computer all day cus of this, i really want it to start working again.

You really have to be accurate - what version of windows first. In device manager you say it isn't there at all, which suggests you removed the driver, but windows hasn't rescanned your usb devices.

You need to remove the mic from the usb socket, shut down and start up windows again, and then insert the usb connector into a totally different socket, this should trigger windows telling you it needs to install a driver, which depending on the windows version, might simply put it back again. If you are not too hot on computer literacy, then messing with drivers is a bad idea. First rule of USB mics - if they work, leave them alone. The Blue Yeti mics are quite good, the USB connection of them is a pain in the rear end.
