So this is a weird thing. I had to reinstall my windows 10, everything is sort of out of whack and there little icon on my taskbar says rainmeter is using my microphone. I bugs me since I did not endeavour to have that happening at all.

Anyone know how to un do this ?

Whilst that just reaffirmed the weirdness. I went through all of my code and found this to be the passive culprit:

Code: Select all

[MeasureInput]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=AudioLevel
Port=Input
Disabling that and the icon went away.
