my husband's new Windows 11 computer suddenly stopped outputting audio to the 3.5mm headphones.

I clicked the audio troubleshooting button in Settings. It did not send me to the troubleshooter, but instead redirected me to install a help app. (yes, it wasn't even pre-installed.)

The help app told me to click the audio troubleshooter button.

Satya Nadella owes me three billion dollars in emotional damages.

(we've fixed the audio problem by unplugging the USB microphone and rebooting. before you @ me self-righteously about someone else's operating system which was chosen in accordance with THEIR needs and not mine and certainly not yours, consider whether I might react with the fury of ten thousand suns)
