## The problem
There is a bit of a story here. I had both `dhcpcd` and `NetworkManager` running simultaneously. After wasting a good chunk of my time I found that you are not supposed to run both at a given time.
## The solution
Disable either `dhcpcd` or `NetworkManager` and it should be working again after a reboot.

You may have noticed your plugged in headset shows up as "Headset (unplugged)" in Pavucontrol and it does not take audio input. Your computer is probably missing on some kernel modules for audio capture to work properly. Put the following in `/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf`
```
options snd-hda-intel model=alc255-acer,dell-headset-multi
```
These modules work even when your device is not from the said OEMs. Additionally, there might already exist a module specifically for your machine. In that case, put that in the file and reboot.

It might happen that you connected your USB stick but it did not show up in File Explorer. Maybe it is formatted with a filesystem not recognised by Windows or there might be some other reason.
In my case it was an NTFS formatted USB stick which in theory should be recognised by Windows but it did not or it refused to assign it a drive letter as was in my case. So before you think your removable drive has broken and start with a data recovery tool, follow the instructions here.
## Open elevated Command Prompt
Once there, enter `diskpart`
The [DiskPart](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/diskpart) commands help you to manage your PC's drives (disks, partitions ,volumes, or virtual hard disks).
Now type `list vol` and hit enter. It wil list the volumes installed in your computer.
{{% center %}}
{{% figure src="/img/diskpart-list-vol-1.png" title="It was initially a bootable USB drive containing Manjaro 17.06 and I was too lazy to change the label before formatting" alt="Screenshot of the command `list vol`" %}}
{{% /center %}}
Luckily, in my vase all filesystems are recognised by Windows.
Next, enter `sel vol #`, where `#` is the volume number of the removable drive, which in my case is `Volume 6`. So mine looks like this:
{{% center %}}
{{% figure src="/img/dispkart-set-vol-2.png" alt="Screenshot of the command `set vol`" %}}
{{% /center %}}
Now, it is time to assign the removable drive a drive letter so that it can show up in File Explorer. To do that, choose any letter that is not in use except `A` and `B`. They are reserved for floppy drives for historical reasons (and alsi to prevent any unwanted potential issue). So enter `assign letter $`, where `$` is the letter. In my case, it looks like:
{{% center %}}
{{% figure src="/img/diskpart-assign-letter.png" alt="Screenshot of the command `assign letter`" %}}
{{% /center %}}
Enter `list vol` again just to be sure or alternatively you can check in File Explorer.
{{% center %}}
{{% figure src="/img/dispkart-set-vol-2.png" alt="Screenshot of the command `list vol` to confirm our actions" %}}
{{% /center %}}
To exit `DISKPART`, type in `exit` and hit enter.
Now you can work normally witht the removable drive. If your issue is still unfixed maybe it is time to ask in forums and get data recovery tool in action.
