I am vision impaired and I have NVDA installed on my Windows 10 PC. Last night (after midnight), when Windows decided to auto-update (and reboot) itself, the PC started announcing its progress aloud ("Updating Windows, please don't turn off you computer, 1%, 5%, 10%", etc). I don't know if it was NVDA talking, or Microsoft Narrator. Today I double-checked that both NVDA and Microsoft Narrator have "Autostart after login" and "Autostart before login" disabled. Am I missing some other option that I need to touch?

You may enable Focus assist (also called quiet hours in earlier versions of Windows 10), described as :
allows you to avoid distracting notifications when you need to stay focused. It's set by default to activate automatically when you're duplicating your display, playing a game, or using an app in full screen mode. You can control any or all of these, as well as determining to what level notifications are suppressed.
- Go to Start > Settings > System > Focus assist
- Set "Priority only" (see only notifications from a list you can customize to your liking), or "Alarms Only" (hide everything except alarms).
- Under Automatic rules, set "During these times" to On
- Click "During these times"
- Set the hours when you should not be disturbed.
