If you own a Lenovo PC, you may have noticed that adjustments to machine-specific functions are spoken via SAPI when Narrator is enabled. This includes things like the camera being on or off, screen brightness, touchpad status, power profile, etc. Of course, it'd be great if this were screen reader agnostic, but it relies on narrator.exe being running. This little program will trick the utility into dispatching the messages, because it runs as narrator.exe, even though all it does is creates a system tray icon with a context menu. Run it normally or place it in shell:startup to have it run when the machine boots. It's worth noting that Narrator won't start with this being active, so you'll need to exit it first if you wanna use Narrator. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ea9onvco20e4jb0u6vy26/narrator.exe?rlkey=3b93hr84q2k9h4il7k1wiknd2&dl=1
