I reached home from the office.... tried to connect my AirPods pro 2 .... the same problem again.... The funny thing is ..... now the problem is not just with the mic, unable to hear anything on Airpods now :|
I tried the same steps from your previous comment.... worked for some time.... Disconnected the airpods.... now back to square one.... not sure how to deal with this on a daily basis.... Every time I place the AirPods back in the case and reconnect after a while... I cannot keep rebooting the PC after removing the Airpod drivers......
MS should really look into fixing this ... Wide scale of people are facing the same problem on Win 11 with Airpod Pro 2.
