Windows 10: Windows voice recorder crashes

I used Windows Voice recorder without any problems. But after the update to Windows 11 it crashes as soon as I hit record button. I tried the solution I'd found on the internet. I uninstalled Voice Recorder, then took ownership of WindowsApps folder and deleted all the folders with soundrecorder in it. It worked fine, except for three files which I couldn't remove, despite having granted myself access to these folders. Then I reinstalled Voice Recorder, but the problem is still the same. Windows troubleshooting app is of no use, either. Help!

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}

Voice Recorder Crashes

I have been using Windows Voice Recorder for sometime . i liked it because it`s easy to run and the recordings have a clear sound. I have become familiar with how to save the files, transfer them and rename the files. I have the Voice Recorder working on my cell phone and on another implementation of Win10. The only problem I am having is with this installation.

I would like to unravel what causes it to crash a few seconds after loading. I have:

• used Avast Driver Updater to determined that the correct drivers are installed
• used Avast Primum to remove corrupt files and repair broken files
• ran Deployment Image Servicing and Management to repair system files
• ran System File Checker to verify there are no integrity errors
• made a backup and restored it to a different hard drive, the error was still there

I intend to use Process Monitor to create a log file of what is happening and determine what is causing the crashes,
Want to help me?

 

Voice Recorder Crashes

I would like to compare the performance of different software running on the same hardware.

On one SSD I would like to install

• Google Chrome and Microsoft Windows Professional Pus 2010. I have a license for Office 10.
• I would like to run the free edition of Google Drive configured to sync with my Android cell phone and transfer both videos and still images wirelessly when I say go.
• I would like to run the free edition of Microsoft OneDrive and backup my System partition to it separately from my Data drive.
• I would like to store my Music library on One Drive

Maybe its time to make a Clean Install.

I wonder where this user name came from. I didn’t create it.
