Start or Stop Accessibility Programs Using Utility Manager
Utility Manager is an accessibility utility that enables users to check the status of accessibility programs (Microsoft Magnifier, Narrator, On–Screen Keyboard) and to start or stop them.
You can start or stop accessibility programs by using Utility Manager, or you can set Windows to start or stop them automatically. For more information, see the Accessibility Tutorials:
