Airpods connect to windows 10 but do not work

I've successfully paired (and connected) the airpods to my windows 10 system. For some reason, once they are connected, a playback and recording device isn't added... therefore I can't seem to route the sound and mic through the airpods. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

User uploaded fileI know this is quite late, but in case anyone else had this problem, I did too. I installed it the first two times and it appeared as in the included picture (note the AirPods appear twice, as a headset and headphones). The third time it actually appeared AND played music, as opposed to pretending to play music. So, I guess try, try and try again. I never have been a fan of the Windows 10 Pairing system.
