It worked for me.

I pressed Cap Lock, and then let go of the button. The cap lock light comes on.

I then press Esc.

The blue outline is gone! Hurray!

Thanks

Exiting Narrator

There are also different ways to exit Narrator. These are the two shortcuts many people prefer:

On a keyboard, press the Windows logo key +Enter.
On a tablet, press the Windows logo button and Volume Up button together.
