This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the Screen Curtain feature in Narrator for your account in Windows 11.
Narrator is a screen reader included with Windows 11 that describes what's on your screen.
Narrator 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.
Starting with Windows 11 build 26120.4162 (Beta 24H2) and build 26200.5641 (Dev 24H2), Microsoft is gradually rolling out Screen Curtain in Narrator. The Screen Curtain feature in Narrator is designed to enhance privacy and focus for users who rely on screen reading. When activated, Screen Curtain completely blacks out the display, ensuring that only the user hears what’s on the screen through Narrator, while the visual content remains hidden from view. This is especially useful in public spaces or shared environments, allowing users to read and work with sensitive information without revealing it to others nearby. Especially if you are wearing headphones.
Here's How:
1 Turn on Narrator (
+ Ctrl + Enter).2 Press the Caps + Ctrl + C keys to toggle Screen Curtain on or off as needed while Narrator is on.
That's it,
Shawn Brink
