Transcription Lag Linked to Windows Update

We are currently tracking the number of TypeWell users affected by the lag issue and monitoring the workarounds they are implementing. At this time, we do not have a new build or version that fully resolves the issue. Some Windows 11 users have opted to pause their updates until a fix is available.

The problem was initially triggered by Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 (KB5043076), which was released in September.

NOTE: The subsequent Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5043145) – also dated 2024-09 – has been installed by multiple transcribers, who reported that it does not resolve the lagging issue.

We are currently addressing performance challenges related to recent Microsoft updates that have affected transcription in TypeWell. To better understand the issue, we're surveying users for their Windows specifications and conducting thorough testing to identify the source. Our goal is to find effective workarounds and potential fixes. For detailed information on the ongoing situation, please refer to our article here.
