World of Warcraft Voice Proxy is causing my battle.net launcher to go “Oopsie doopsie, something went wrong with a file! Try again later. :^)” whenever it tries to update World of Warcraft after opening and closing World of Warcraft beforehand.
Apparently, when closing down World of Warcraft, the application forgets that the voice proxy exists and just leaves it open, which results in the launcher being unable to update WoW. When I force quit the Proxy via Task Manager, the update went through just fine.
Is there any way to permanently disable the Voice Proxy? I don’t ever see myself using WoW’s voice chat, thanks to other communication services like Discord or Ventrilo.

This has been happening to me as well, I’ve tried looking into it and so far there hasn’t been any good fixes for this short of Blizzard implementing some kind of fix on their end. Hopefully they can get around to fixing it as it is really annoying having to manually shut down every instance of the voice proxy whenever I need to update the game

I don’t know of any way you can disable the Voice Proxy process. It really seems to be hit and miss. I never have an issue with it not shutting down as it should.
One thing that may help is disabling the Windows Fast Boot feature. Basically Windows keeps some processes active to save time when starting them up. This is a good thing if you have a standard hard drive. If you are on a SSD it is pointless.

you can rename the Voice Proxy to something like voiceproxy.exe.bak and bypass the Battle net Launcher with Wow.exe. I only use the launcher if the realm lists as incompatible. the launcher will make another voiceproxy.exe
