Click on that message and look, even if you don't want to touch anything.

Sounds like a playback or record setting in Windows set to a different rate. It likely would not hurt to change to 44.1 (unless you are working with audio/video production or something). You can always change it back.

Right click your Speaker icon, select Playback (or Record) device.
Make sure the one you are using is selected and click Properties, then Advanced.
Here you should find a drop down with different rates that Windows will use.
I'd try 16/44 and see if it goes away.
