It can be a big nuisance and also embarrassing when you are giving a presentation, or sitting in the waiting room at your doctor’s office. Imagine your computer suddenly start reading out load what’s on your screen because you accidentally turned on the Narrator. Sometimes people hit certain hotkeys (keyboard combinations) which turns the Magnifier or the Narrator on. Here are a couple of examples of what the High Contrast screen looks like in Notepad and Microsoft Word. For people who don’t have this issue, the High Contrast screen can put more stress on their eyes, or they may just find it weird because they are not used to it. High Contrast can be useful for people who are unable to easily distinguish color contrasts on the screen. A desktop computer usually have some additional buttons, at least the Network button.

Because this screenshot is from a Virtual Machine, it shows only two buttons: Power and Ease of Access. You may see more buttons on your computer than what you see in the above screenshot. On the Windows 10 logon screen, clicking the Ease of Access button gives you the following options. For example, they can turn on High Contrast, which turns the default white background of applications into black. Kids often click around with the mouse on their home computer and accidentally turn on some of the Ease of Access options. Perhaps the most common scenario why organizations want to remove the Ease of Access button is when Windows 10 computers are configured as kiosks, but individuals and organizations also have other reasons for removing this button.
