The following advice has been provided on a Microsoft Forum posting below:
- Disable Windows Speech Recognition: If you no longer want to use Windows Speech Recognition, you can disable it entirely. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy & security > Speech, inking, & typing, and toggle off the "Online speech recognition" option. This should prevent the pop-up from appearing.
- Disable Windows Update Notifications: If the pop-up is appearing because of an update, you can try disabling Windows Update notifications. To do this, go to Settings > System > Notifications & actions, and toggle off the "Get notifications from apps and other senders" option. Keep in mind that this will disable notifications from all apps, not just Windows Update.
- Registry Edit (Advanced): If the above methods don't work, you can try editing the Windows Registry to disable the pop-up. This method is more advanced and should be approached with caution, as editing the registry incorrectly can cause system instability. Here's how to do it:
- Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, type "regedit", and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
- Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Speech_OneCore\EndOfSupportNotification
- Right-click on the "EndOfSupportNotification" folder on the left pane, and select "Permissions".
- Click on "Advanced" button, then uncheck the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" option.
- Click "Remove" on the dialog box that appears, then "Add" and type "Everyone" into the box and click "OK".
- Now, click "Disable Inheritance" and choose "Convert inherited permissions into explicit permissions on this object".
- Finally, click "OK" to save the changes and close the dialog boxes.
- Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
- By following these steps, you should be able to disable the pop-up window for the end of support for Windows Speech Recognition. If you have any concerns or encounter any issues, it's always a good idea to seek further assistance or consult with a professional.
