2. Uninstalling Live Captions​

Live Captions is not a standalone app that can be uninstalled like a traditional program. However, you can ensure it doesn’t run or show up by managing its triggers.

Alternatives for Disabling Permanency:​

• Disable Shortcut Trigger:
  • By default, Windows Key + Ctrl + L opens Live Captions. If you find yourself triggering it accidentally, avoid using this shortcut.
• Manage Accessibility Features:
  • Disable permissions for Accessibility Apps in the system if Live Captions is continually loading beyond user control.

3. Managing Updates or Enforcing Feature Exclusion​

Windows 11 is rolling out AI-powered features related to translation and accessibility, and updates may enable Live Captions for broader use cases. If updates re-enable it, you can:

• Stop optional feature updates under Settings > Update & Security to minimize reintroductions of unused features .
