    Patchy as hell, but best solution so far. Thanks!

    Disabling narrator.exe can be achieved much simpler by just renaming the file. Also, it will need to be redone every time it is updated by Windows Update.

    Indeed patchy as hell but definitely necessary. It utterly defies belief that there's no way of disabling the narrator completely from the regular UI. That I've found so far, at least.

    see the comment on the other post about doing the same for AtBroker aswell - otherwise you'll get those processes spawning and hanging around when you windows + enter

  • This is the best answer, thanks! All other comments excluded crucial steps for the instructions.
