Windows 10: Beware latest voice recorder update, it’s broken

Turned pc on this evening and done my usual check for updates in the store app. Several came through one of which was for voice recorder. It’s a bad update as now trying to launching it results in the app crashing. It’s the same across all our home PCs. So it is clearly an MS problem and once again woeful lack of QA testing on their part. Try and avoid it for now

Voice Recorder Flags Disappeared

Hi,

I realize the problem you are facing with the voice recorder.

To assist you better, please answer the below:

• 
  Are you using windows built-in voice recorder or any other 3rd party voice recorder application?
  
• 
  If you are using Build in Windows recorder, how did you put the flag?
  

If you are using built-in Windows recorder, there is no option to put a flag on recorded voice. Provide us the screenshot of recording interface with Flag.

Refer the steps given in the below link to provide us screenshots:

In case if you are using any 3rd party recorder, then I suggest you to contact the developer of the application for further help.

Thank you.

Windows voice recorder location


May I suggest you download "Cok Free MP3 Player". It is much more user friendly and quicker to use than the native voice recorder.
