Cant recird voice over even though mic sends audio and it starts recording. Simply doesnt save file

So this just started. 

Recording voice over just stopped. 

I can right click the mic icon on timeline and check the audio settings. I have a arctic headset, a yeti, and another mic.  I can select any.

I can select any, and see the input volume monitors as I talk.  Great.

I can see in windows preiere is using your mic icon on my Taskbar 

My soumd.options show my mic in windows. 

Exit, click.record. 

I don't have an in out set, so it starts the play head and the red recording icon shows

It counts down 3 2 1 record.

I talk, and when I click the mic icon again, no file. No audio in the track. No matter what track I use. 

This worked last week just fine. Im.a software developer so im.pretty savvy with windows. 

OK, I go file new project. Create project xxx

I click new sequence.

Create ie the new project

Click record.  it records audio in the new project. Shows on timeline and, saves file.

I go back to the first project, and audio records again. Saves to timeliness. Shows in library. 

Note: I found this because I was going to move the whole project contents to a new sequence as a last ditch effort.

All.projects start working once I've created a new project 

Randomly, it stops recording. They all do.

Create another project, another sequence, record a few seconds. Go back to first project, it records again. All.record. until they don't. 

I've Uninstaller. Reinstalled. I have 200 gigs plus of space on all 6 drives I use.  I can't find a setting that would.make it not work.

I opened audio mixer/studio window. It doesn't work either until I do the steps I mentioned.  

Any ideas would be truly appreciated.
