Windows 10: Voice access repeatedly crashing

Voice access keeps repeatedly crashing on Windows 11. It will start initializing when I enable it and then the bar at the top of the screen quickly disappears and it turns itself back off. It also momentarily shows in the active processes before disappearing. I tried two mics that were both working and voice access still crashed. I checked the microphone privacy settings and they were all turned on.

Voice Recorder Crashes

Hi Dalchina,
I tried to use the program you recommended. I have a feeling it is the solution to my problem but I have not got it to work. The file name is Re-Install and Re-Register a Single App for Current Account . The instructions were:

1. Open a Command Prompt
2. Copy and Paste the command

These image files show what happened when I tried to enter the instruction in Command prompt.

& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *WindowsSoundRecorder*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}

Create an Alias for Voice Access

Hello,

I’ve recently started using Voice Access and I find it useful. Can users create an alias for it?

According to Microsoft Support Topics, Voice access command list - Microsoft Support, the only way to activate and manage Voice Access is by calling “Voice Access”.

I’d like to create an alias to call “Voice Access” as either “Cortana” or “Copilot”. Is this possible?

Thanks!
