Speech recognition keeps resetting itself.  This is a serious privacy problem.  I have already updated the to the current software and it keeps happening.

I have the same problem. Roku is up to date. This is an egregious privacy breach as is not being able to disable all microphone/voice settings. I do not want a remote with voice recognition. Nothing in advertisements state voice recognition cannot permanently be disabled. Search menus, input menus, etc. still show microphone so that speech can be used.
