Blue Snowball Setup Windows 10

On
my blue snowball got recognized , and its in my audio manager in the recording tab
but no matter how loud i yell in the mic , the green bar that indicates sound going through it just wouldn't budge..
windows 7 no problem , go figure windows 10 is full of issues
let me explain what i've already tried:
deleting the device entirely , both in
audio input and audio output tab
&
drivers for audio , video & games
unplugged the cable and inserted into a different USB 2.0 slot , restarted my computer...
tried removing it all through devices & printer through controll panel
that however promped the message that the drivers gets installed , after 5 seconds it says 'ready for use!'
still no audio gets picked up , no audio through OBS
why is windows 10 such a crap OS ?
do i seriously have to buy another 100+ dollar worth of a mic and perhaps have the same issues maybe not instantly but perhaps 2 weeks , 4 weeks or maybe even 2 months from now !?
