Adding language packs when options are greyed out in Windows 10

After Googling for a fix I inadvertantly found the fix myself.

Open Settings->Time & Language->Language.



I found that my language was installed BUT my language had no Microphone icon in its list

Clicking the language displayed Options. Clicking Options gave me the ability to add Speech and Handwriting.

The above image is after adding the Speech.

No sound in Brave Browser

After you have tried rebooting the PC (Turning it off and on again😉), try the following.

Step 1: In Windows, right-click the speaker icon at the bottom right corner of the desktop and select Open Volume mixer.
Step 2: Once it is open, move the slider to change the volume of the system sound or for a specific program. Adjust the slider to increase the browser's volume.
Also, verify that the browser isn't muted as in the following screenshot. If so, click it to unmute it.

Retrieve Windows WiFi passwords

Windows remembers every Wi-Fi password you've ever used. The following is how it reconnects to those networks.

To display all your saved Wi-Fi networks, in PowerShell run:

netsh wlan show profiles 

Then run 

netsh wlan show profile name="PROFILE" key=clear" 

Naturally, replace PROFILE with the profile from the first command's output.
Look at KeyContent for the network's password.
