Windows 10: Win 11 APPS not working: Windows Dictation Windows Key + H Not Working AFTER 2024-03...

Hi,I installed Windows 2024-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems KB5035853 2x this week and was using the Windows Key + H combo to activate the dictation feature. I successfully used dictation to compose some e-mails this way. This week, however, when I press the same key combination, nothing happens. The dictation feature appears, but does not activate. Additionally All custom restore points are gone and the current ones are useless, PHONE LINK doesnt work, Night Light doesn't work and live chat is a complete waste of time

Windows 1803 Dictation (Windows Key + H) Not Working

Hi,

I installed Windows 1803 last week and was using the Windows Key + H combo to activate the dictation feature. I successfully used dictation to compose some e-mails this way. This week, however, when I press the same key combination, nothing happens. The
dictation feature does not activate.

I'm in Canada and hadn't adjusted my location or speech language settings after the install, they were set to Canada and English (Canada). I have tried changing them to United States and English (United States), but the Windows Key + H combination still
does nothing.

I also updated another computer in my home yesterday to 1803, and the Windows Key + H combo has not worked on it even once.

Any light you can shed on this problem would be greatly appreciated. It would have been nice to have dictated this message!

Thanks in advance for your help,

Randy

 

Windows key+H dictation not working in Microsoft Word.

Have you tried the control panel speech recognition I suggested?

You can find this by going into Control Panel > type in "Speech Recognition" and then set up a microphone. then continue to turn it on and use it instead of win+H dictation.

 

Windows key+H dictation not working in Microsoft Word.

Hello! I'm glad to see I was not the only person who had this issue!

Last week, I attempted to use the win+H dictation to write a document. I found it bugging out and cutting out at random.

I figured out that it has to do with you stopped the dictation without saying "Stop dictating". So basically if you use backspace to correct something, it bugs the program out and it wont dictate.

The best fix for this is to use the Control Panel version (legacy dictation, works just as good) or simply save, and restart your document then click win+H and start it up again.

But for now, I believe this is just a bug that hasn't been fixed.
