Windows narrator keeps turning on.
I just completed 2 windows updates this morning and since then, when the computer "goes to sleep" and I wake it, the narrator program starts to run. I shut it off but it will turn back on the next time it goes to sleep again. I checked the task manager/start up and narrator is not listed in there. I'm running Windows 11 and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This issue is quite common after Windows updates, and it's often related to the Windows Narrator service not being properly disabled or removed from the startup list.
