    narrator still active on gears 5, but its turned off


    I'm having an issue with the narrator being active only when gears 5 is being played. I've done all the trouble shooting available to no avail. I don't have this issue outside of this game. Also never had this issue
    with gears 5 until I reinstalled it. I've also tried uninstalling, redownloading it, and hard resetting console.

    :)

    Narrator

    Hi Aaron,

    To turn off narrator hold the xbox button and go to narrator, it then should ask you Do you want to turn it off, select yes. If its still on after you turn it off, a quick restart should fix this.

    You can also adjust the narrator settings in Settings - Ease of access - Narrator then switch off.

    More info can be found here:

    Let us know if you need anything else. :)

    Gears 5 can't turn off narrator off in Win11

    Hello Seyyed Hossein Hashemi,



    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    I understand how frustrating it can be when the narrator keeps interrupting your gaming experience. Let's tackle this issue step by step:

    - Keyboard Shortcut Method:

    - The quickest way to turn off the Narrator is to use a keyboard shortcut. You can use the same shortcut on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 PCs.

    - While Narrator is running, press the Windows+Ctrl+Enter keys simultaneously. This will close the Narrator.

    - To turn Narrator back on, use the same Windows+Ctrl+Enter keyboard shortcut.

    - Settings App Method:

    - If you prefer a graphical option, you can disable Narrator from within the Settings app.

    - Here are the steps:

    For Windows 11:

    - Press Windows+i to launch the Settings app.

    - In Settings, select "Accessibility" from the left sidebar.

    - In the right pane, click on the "Narrator" option.

    - Turn off the "Narrator" option.

    - Additional Troubleshooting:

    - If the above methods don't work, you can try the following:

    - Fix 1: Right-click on the Narrator.exe file, select Properties, go to the Security tab, click the Advanced button, and then enter your username in the text field. Click Check Names and then OK to save the changes .

    - Fix 2: Ensure that your Windows setting for Narrator is turned off .



    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.

    How do I turn off the Siri-like "selected" voice on the menu?

    The "Narrator"....

    Scroll left on the Home screen to open the guide.

    2.Go down to the fifth tab and select Settings.

    3.Scroll left and select the default option, All Settings.

    4.The bottom option in Settings is Ease of Access. Scroll down to it and then scroll right to find and select Narrator.

    5.The focus will default to the area where you can turn narrator on and off again. Press the A button on your controller to turn the narrator on. To turn it off, press the A button again.
