Windows 10: speech recognition doesn´t work

Hi, I use Voiceattack, an app that uses speech recognition to send command to games. It has stopped working for some reason. I use the mic that is integrated in the cam that I also use for headtracking. it´s worked ok for years. I´ve checked the windows 10 sound config. Everything seems to be properly adjusted. The Logitech Cam Microphone is detected and on.
I digged farther and found a crazy issue. This was the process (my system is used in spanish, so I will translate aproximatedly):
- open "control panel"
- click "easy of access"
- click "install a microphone"
- click "cortana can´t hear me"
- select my mic (it´s selected by default). Click "next"
- click "configure microphone"
- in the new window with some instructions, click "next"
- in the new window the bar with the mic level at last moves and the mic works. At that point voiceattack ALSO WORKS!!
- as soon as I close the window with the message "se completó la solución de problemas" (problem solving completed, or similar in english) it STOPS working again. In the box "found problems" it says "Es posible que sea necesario configurar tu micrófono" (microphone might need being configured) CORREGIDO (solved)

I can´t figure how to solve this for the life of mine. I might have unchecked some permisiion when trying to stop cortana trying to hear me, but the problem solver should have reverted any changes, as it says it did, right?
PS. Ironically I can use this as a far from convenient workaround, as I simply have to repeate the process without closing the last window But it´s ridiculous anyway

Are you aware of these controls?

 

No speech recognition at all


Hi, this may be of interest:
Installing additional language packs for Windows 10 speech recognition random ranting

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)
