No, all boxes in settings are turned off. I think it is a bug you introduced

Go to Start > Settings > Accessibility > Narrator.
Ensure the Narrator toggle is turned off.
If the toggle for 'Keyboard shortcut for Narrator' is turned off, turn it on and press the Windows key + Ctrl + Enter to turn off Narrator.
If you are still having issues, restart your computer (not shutdown) and try the keyboard combinations to turn off Narrator.

2026-08-28T09:24:49.6033333+00:00 Try these direct ways to turn Narrator off in Windows 11:
- Press Windows logo key + Ctrl + Enter. This shortcut toggles Narrator on and off.
- Press Windows logo key + Ctrl + N to open Narrator settings, then turn off the toggle under Use Narrator.
- If Narrator starts at sign-in, in Narrator settings clear:
- Start Narrator after sign-in for me
- Start Narrator before sign-in for everyone
- If this is happening on the sign-in screen or in certain menus, use the Accessibility icon in the bottom-right corner and turn Narrator off there.
- On a touch device, use Windows button + Volume up to start or stop Narrator.
If Narrator keeps coming back on, the usual cause is that one of the automatic start options is still enabled.
