This post shows students and new users steps to start Narrator before or after they sign into Windows automatically. The Narrator app feature in Windows helps those with limited vision or who cannot see the text clearly on their screen.
The narrator app has also been greatly improved in Windows 11, with some Windows apps tightly integrated. So, for example, when you open an email in Outlook, the Narrator will start reading—no commands required.
The Narrator will read an email’s status (unread, forwarded, etc.), who sent it, the subject line, and any other characteristics of the email that are important or unique.
Suppose the Narrator is helpful to you, and you want to use it all the time. In that case, you can configure it so that it automatically starts up every time you sign into Windows, so you don’t press the Windows key + CTRL + ENTER keys every time you want to turn on Narrator.

Windows 11 has a centralized location for the majority of its settings app. From system configurations to creating new users and updating Windows, all can be done from the System Settings pane.
To get to System Settings, you can use the Windows key + I shortcut or click on Start ==> Settings, as shown in the image below:
Alternatively, you can use the search box on the taskbar and search for Settings. Then select to open it.
Windows Settings pane should look similar to the image below. For example, in Windows Settings, click Accessibility, and select Narrator on the right pane of your screen shown in the image below.
On the Accessibility > Narrator settings pane, under Use Narrator, toggle the switch to On or Off to enable or disable Narrator in Windows.
