MacBook Update and voice over nonsense.

I updated MacBookPro to 14.4.1 and now voice over has taken over. It won't switch off. Reboot. Same thing. How can I get rid of this annoyance?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

Go to Apple > System Setting > Accessibility > select Spoken Content and turn off all of the switches.

Thank you. But that does not work. I've rebooted. It still is on. Some bug in the update. They better address it.
