    How to permanently disable all attempts to download SpeechRuntime.exe


    I'm running 64-bit Windows 10 Pro, 1909 (OS Build 18363.693)

    Ive seen hundreds of people claim that disabling Cortana and other speech-related components will stop SpeechRuntime.exe from executing, and indeed it did. Long ago I totally disabled Cortana and speech recognition and text to speech, and there are now zero speech or Cortana-related settings in PC Settings (at least none that do anything). But some functional settings remain in the Control Panel.

    Anyway, although SpeechRuntime doesn't actually run any longer, every single day -- sometimes multiple times per day -- Windows desperately keeps trying to download it and other speech-related files!


    I set my firewall to prevent this, but the sneaky shi(r)ts at Microsoft have devised things such that it will keep trying to outwit my firewall. Therefore, every couple of weeks or so it will try again and I have to add a new rule to my firewall.
    How can I stop this ridiculous, subversive behavior once and for all?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Permanently Disable Windows Defender?

    Since this is a TP. The option to turn off/disable Windows Defender is grayed out. However, you can turn off by:

    1. Open Admin Command Prompt and type: gpedit.msc
    2. Manoeuver to: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows Defender
    3. Double click on "Turn Off Windows Defender" and select "Enabled" then click "Apply"

    WARNING: After turn off "Windows Defender", you might not be able to turn it back on. I suggest before trying this, make a backup image so you can restore to the way it was.

  3. How to disable Airplane mode permanently on Windows 10?

    Hi Hunky,

    As you are facing issues with turning on or off Airplane on your device, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    Do let us know if you have made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue?

    The option you are looking for to permanently disable Airplane mode is unfortunately not available.

    Let us try few of the below troubleshooting steps to disable Airplane mode and check if it helps.

    Step 1: To turn off Airplane mode from Settings and check.

    • Press Windows key, click on Settings
      from the left pane.
    • Click on Network & Internet.
    • Under Airplane mode turn it off and check.

    Step 2: To Turn On or Off Airplane Mode in Network Notification Area Icon


    • Click on the Network icon in the taskbar notification area.

    • Click on the Airplane mode button to toggle on or off.

    Step 3: To Turn On or Off Airplane Mode in Action Center


    • Open Action Center by clicking Windows + A keys from keyboard.

    • Click on the Airplane mode quick action button to toggle on or off.

    If the settings are not refining, this issue might have occurred due to corrupted/ missing system files.

    Step 4: I suggest you to run SFC scan and check if it helps.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. If a
    Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
      Enter.
    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with updated status of disabling the Airplane mode for further assistance.

    Thank you.
