I often use the feature called 'Voice Typing' to dictate text into documents or fields like this one on this site. It is activated by pressing the Windows Key plus H. It is different from 'Voice Access' because it does not allow you to control aspects of your computer but is only for dictation...

Not sure this is relevant, but.... I recently upgraded to 24H2 Home via Windows Update. Prior to updating, while on 23H2 Home, Device Encryption was off which is how I want it. After updating to 24H2 it is still off which is how I want it. So, Device Encryption was not enabled by default with...

My system upgraded to 24H2 via Windows Update yesterday. So far it seems ok.

My system updated to 24H2 yesterday through Windows Update. So far it seems ok.

Is there a reason why Windows File History/Indexing Options would not provide the search capability requested by the OP? I have used it for years, it is free, built in, and includes content searching.

Gee, the things you learn on Eleven Forum; I had never heard of 'Compact View'. Selected it and like it!

I got to wondering about this problem. I have now observed this problem in some situations. It seems that if you click elsewhere In the middle of or quickly (a second or two) after speaking, the text will disappear. But it will stay if the escape key is clicked a few seconds later. Another...

I use voice typing a lot but have rarely used the escape key or Win + H to turn it off. Usually it turns off when I click into another window or the desktop, whatever. In any case I have never seen the kind of behavior you described, i.e. the dictation get erased. Sorry, no clue why this is...

I bought a sheet of these little transparent LED dimmers to minimize this problem. They have helped. https://www.lightdims.com/index.php

I still wonder why Microsoft does not provide a current 'native' Windows backup solution that is equivalent to, say Macrium, instead of deprecating its own Windows 7 creation? It would seem natural to have something that is integral to Windows instead of diverting us to a third party. 🤷‍♂️

FYI, it just updated ok for me.

I had (what sounds like) a similar problem for a long time. The problem lay with my ISP who provides the Wi-Fi in my apartment building. After complaining to them at length and persistently, they eventually did 'something' and the problem went away. It was not a problem with my Windows 11...

Why not right click windows start>shutdown or sign out>sleep? That is what I use.

A useful variation on this: Pressing Alt + Print Screen will capture just the active window (where your mouse is pointed) on the screen. It does not place the image in the Screen Shots folder, but it is in the Clipboard and can be pasted elsewhere. At least that is the way it works on my Desktop.
