Windows 10: Cortana and Speech Recognition issue in october 2018 update

Recently I have the October 2018 update. Though it added some new features but create few problems. 1. "Cortana" is not working properly. It stopped on the taskbar search option and cant sense my speech. Tried to solve by the task manager end task option. But after few searches again the same problem persists. 2. The speech recognition also not functioning properly, though the microphone is okay. It appears as "Speech Recognition could not start because the language configuration is not supported". Tried every possible way out provided in the Microsoft community, e.g. changing language, region, etc. (cant change the windows display language) but the problem prevails. In the previous version there was no speech recognition problem with the language issue. Can anyone please solve the problems?

No speech recognition at all


Hi, this may be of interest:

This has downloads, + a complete list of languages availablefor Win 10:

(but note the date)

fwiw I just tried it- my locale, speech, display language etc are set to UK English. (Which took some doing this time, or something was slightly messed up).

If I type speech in Cortana's search box, say, I get Windows Speech Recognition as top search.

I use Classic Shell, with the Control Panel expanded, so in a second or less I can see 'Speech Recognition' listed there.

Similarly, if I type 'Speech' in Settings I can easily see Speech Recognition.

With the speech recognition bar displayed, task manager shows:
SpeechRuntime.exe in C:\Windows\System32\Speech_OneCore\Common ..........

sapisvr.exe in C:\Windows\Speech\Common

running.

Some (older) search results:

I came across this for Win 7
Speech Recognition - Language Configuration is Not Supported Error Fix - Windows 7 Help Forums
- maybe there's an updated one here (see Tutorials).

There are a couple of helpful links at the end of this (but Win 7 again)
