    Windows 10 Voice Recorder Crashing

    Hi Aaron,

    Thanks for the assistance. I tried the following:

    1. Ran the System File Checker. There were no issues detected.
    2. Updated all apps in Windows Store. Voice Recorder wasn't one of them, since I did a forced uninstall and reinstall two days ago (steps from a related thread).
    3. Installed the Windows 10 October cumulative update.

    Nothing worked, and I saw the same error in the Event Log. I Googled the Windows.UI.Xaml.dll issue and saw a related post that asked the user to disable Windows Defender. I did that. When I re-launched the app it crashed so quick I couldn't even see it.
    I now got a more verbose set of errors in the log, and it looks like some crash dump files were generated...

    Any thoughts on next steps? Can I send the .wer and .dmp files to MS Support for review?

    Thanks!

    WER ReportArchive copied to another partition all of a sudden

    All of a sudden a folder "ReportArchive" has been created within my D:\Downloads\ folder.
    I don't see anything special in Windows Eventlog.
    When checking the size, it looks like it is only a part of the ReportArchive on my C-drive.

    Anyone out there who knows what might have triggered this?

    Thanks.
