This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off automatically start Narrator after sign-in for your account in Windows 11.
Narrator is a screen reader included with Windows 11 that describes what's on your screen. IT lets you use your PC without a mouse to complete common tasks if you’re blind or have low vision. It reads and interacts with things on the screen, like text and buttons. Use Narrator to read and write email, browse the internet, and work with documents.
