No-frills recorder from Microsoft is for instant recording. When you press a button to record, it create a new file. When you press a button to stop recording, it creates name and save the output file automatically.
This app comes with Windows 11, I launched it, the app asked for permission to use microphone, I clicked 'Yes'
Then the app window said "updating the app" but it took so long, I decided to open Microsoft store, then clicked an update button near the open button.
Everything went fine.
