14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has managed to resolve another bug in Windows 11, this time related to the voice typing that is bundled with the operating system.
The software giant explains on the Windows health dashboard that the bug made it impossible for users to launch voice typing on their Windows 11 devices.
The error that showed up was “Something went wrong,” so it goes without saying that figuring out precisely what went wrong was pretty impossible.
“When attempting to open voice typing by using the keyboard shortcut of Windows key + h, you might receive the error "Something went wrong." If this error is received, voice typing will not open,” the software giant explained.
The good news is that Microsoft managed to figure out what happened quite fast, so the bug has already been resolved as of September 13. The company is using a server-side update to address the problem, so users wouldn’t have to install a new update on their devices to get voice typing up and running again.
“This issue has been resolved with a server-side change. Voice typing should now open and function as expected,” Microsoft says.
The bug only affected Windows 11, according to Microsoft.
Earlier this month, the software giant also resolved a glitch that made it impossible to sign in after adding a new Microsoft Account user in Windows. This time, the problem was resolved with the help of a KIR, so no input on the user-side is required.
“After installing KB5016691 and adding a new Microsoft account user in Windows, you might be unable to sign in for a brief time after the first restart or sign out. The issue only affects the newly added Microsoft account user and only for the first sign in. This issue only affects devices after adding a Microsoft account. It does not affect Active Directory domain users accounts or Azure Active Directory accounts,” Microsoft explained.
