That works, but I do use mic regularly for video calls so I can't just block all, and I do want to keep this feature in case some unwanted mic access

I have an application that I run daily at my PC startup, every time Kaspersky pops up, and shows that the application with restrictions is attempting to receive sound... No matter what I choose, Remember my choice for this sequence or Trust this application, this pop-up will be there the next time I boot up my PC. It's been 2 years now and it's annoying. Is there any way I can stop this from appearing? I don't use mic in that application so doesn't matter if it was blocked or not.

I've been using the back & restore function for a long time, but all backing up, never uses restore function. However, today when I needed to use it, I found an issue. I don't have the password for the backup. It's not that I forget, it's that I never really set up the password for the backup. First I tried all the possible passwords I could use, but they didn't work. Then I set up a new backup as a test. It just lets me choose the file to backup, the location to store, and the backup frequency. No password. Still, when I try to access the new test backup, it asks me for a password. Did I do something wrong or did I miss something?
