I never reply on post like this. Though, this problem was so annoying, that I need to say "THANK YOU!!!!"

Very good solution. It works very well. Thanks for it.

Found THIS: <CAPSLOCK> + <ESC> Worked Great!

Accidentally turned on the Narrator (aka Screen Reader) by hitting the windows logo key and something else, possibly the numeral 1 key above the Q key...

In Excel <CTRL><1> is an easy shortcut to format the properties of objects and cells, possibly hitting that logo key instead of CTRL turned the voice on.

Love quick and dirty reg fixes, thanks! Much better than so many of the other solutions offered by others.

Why, Windows 8, why?

Ok, but it starts AtBroker.exe now everytime you hit win enter. (check the Taskmanager to see it)

Your solution works in Windows 10 as well.
Thank You!

Why does microsoft hate users of their products?
Disabling this annoyance should be way easier.
