Windows 10: Live Captioning needs a current 23H2 bug fix

I am on pretty fresh re-install month old Windows 11 23H2 x64 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1026.0 and the prior updates mentioned elsewhere on answers.microsoft.com about this issue can't be applied, You can't now simply remove prior update as stated. How can we download or go back to the original version of Windows Live Captioning until the issue is fixed when it worked well? Some of us require accessibility Hard-Of-Hearing, And this is in my opinion dropping the Windows Accessibility Standard, Releasing "Live Captioning" as a goodwill effort to the Deaf/Hard of Hearing Comm

Live captions - how to get with insider account?

Thanks Elise. I had actually checked for updates before joining the insider program and none were available, but since then the 22H2 update did show up - so I've completed that step, hoorah! But step two, enabling the captions, is not happening. The live captions option does now show up in 'accessibility' and I have turned it on, but then when it comes to downloading the captions I've been trying for 3 days now and I am just stuck with a box that says 'setting up live captions' with a a sliding blue line (whatever you call that - like download in progress, but it doesn't show where the download is at). I left it running the whole day and nothing is happening. I don't think it's my connection as it's working fine for other things. Any suggestions??

 

Customizing the live captions window doesn't work

I can also verify the problem. I have tried customising the live captions so that:

• Text is 100% opacity
  
• Background is 0% opacity
  
• Window is 0% opacity.
  

Captions appear correct in the theme preview, however:

• The actual floating caption window is not transparent,
  
• The background is literally 100% opacity black,
  
• and the text is 100% opacity.
  

It's as if I was using the default theme.

Use live captions to better understand audio - Microsoft Support

This is a bug, it's supposed to work on Windows 11.

Not a good look for Windows.
