I was lucky enough to have Dragon 15.6 work until this latest update of Windows 11.
It now will not allow state changes meaning the red circle for the microphone will not turn green negating the ability to use the application. Furthermore, when attempting to open the program, it freezes on initializing the user profile. I have been able to get past the initialization only to find all options grayed out and no ability to change state. It also does not show the software's version number on the splash screen when opening the program after the issue occurred.
Attempted:
- uninstalling and reinstalling the software
- open Dragon in all compatibility modes
- open Dragon in and out of administrative modes
- a clean boot
- reset the entire computer and install Dragon by itself before any other programs
