Have tried many tricks to disable narrator; none have worked including changing the permissions. I'm the owner of Narrator and am an administrator. I want to rename it. However, when I try it says I need to be an administrator. Continue does not work.
Did you use this guide? How to Disable and Enable Narrator in Windows 10 It is used for accessibility to read text to someone who may not be able to see.
Yes, the read permissions were turned off for everyone.
What is the point of this?
Narrator works only if enabled thru Ease of Access, if you don't enable it no need to rename or do anything to it.
The settings have been rechecked several times. I use many apps. In all, anything something is copied it is read aloud. My complaint is not unusual. There are many similar complaints on the web. While some suggested solution work for some, there are many who report continuation of this annoyance. The only plausible solution I've seen has been renaming Narrator.exe in the System32 folder, but I'm not allowed.
