    I finally have a solution (or rather: workaround) that works!

    Search for Volumemixer or soundmixer in your general settings. 

    Under "Apps" you should see Power BI (You must have a Power BI file opened).  Turn the volume to 0 and voila, peace of mind!

I have the same thing! It started right around the March 2026 update and it is driving me absolutely mad.

Obviously I checked the Accessibility feature under Report Settings, but that option has never been checked. I have re-installed Power BI from both the Microsoft Store and the Web and I've tried deleting the User and WebVIewer files in my <User>\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App directory. I have also turned off the preview features and obviously checked the Microsoft Narrator. The Microsoft Narrator is not the problem because I confirmed this is a different voice entirely. 

I'm really hoping for a solution soon, because this is beyond frustrating.

    Glad to find out I'm not the only one. I don't even have the accessibility section under report settings as an option.

        This didn't work for me. This setting has never been turned on, and neither has the narrator in my windows settings. I turned them both on/off again to try and reset it back to off but it still announces the "working on it" and other messages. The only thing that's worked for me is turning the sound off for Power BI in the volume mixer.

      I'm aware of that setting. It is checked off. It has always been checked off. I've tried turning it on and then off. I've tried closing Power BI and I have restarted my computer multiple times. It is as if the setting is saved somewhere where I can't access it  😞
