Always joining unmuted

I'm a host for many Zoom meetings. Since I got a new computer (moving to Windows 11), I always join every meeting unmuted. I've confirmed that all the settings are correct ("Keep my microphone muted", "Mute all participants when they join a meeting", etc.). I'm getting so frustrated. How do I correct this setting?

 

Zoom version 6.4.10.

First, update to the latest version of Zoom - 6.5.0.

Go to settings > meetings and webinars > keep my microphone muted and be sure it is switched on.

Switch the mic on.Exit the meeting and sign out.

Sign in and start the meeting. You should see the mic is muted.
