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.

    Your issue with Narrator automatically starting after sleep on Windows 11, especially following recent updates, can be caused by various factors including system settings, accessibility features, or lingering tasks triggered by the update.
