Yes, I'm new here and have a question.
Kodi ( Windows 10) seems to work great except there's this annoying voice that tells me about whatever I'm doing with my mouse; it's like it thinks I'm blind and is telling me where I'm navigating with every move.
I cannot find a way to disable it, (the voice). Is there a way ?

Sounds like you activated the hard of hearing interface. Turn that off.
If I have helped you or increased your knowledge, click the 'thumbs up' button to give thanks :) (People with less than 20 posts won't see the "thumbs up" button.)

Kodi windows, haven't yet located a way to disable the hard of hearing interface. (see above) I assume I would find that under accessibility but I haven't found that either.

Windows key + U to open the Ease of Access center (or go to it via the control panel).
Select use computer without a display
Deselect (untick) Turn on Narrator and/or Turn on Audio Description

Narrator and/or Audio Description is turned off everywhere except in Kodi where it chats on, incessantly reminding me of an ex-wife of mine.
Why only in Kodi ?
Why me ? .

I am pretty sure this isn't in Kodi's core functionality, there are some addons that provide help for the visually impared.
Take a look at your installed addons (system addons - my addons) and see if it contains such addons. Should be easy to disable or uninstall it.
