Heya, I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, but I'm trying to learn more about Electron's screen reader detection.

I'm using the Discord desktop application and received this pop-up indicating that Discord has detected a screen reader and I have a feeling it might be related to Electron's screen reader detection. Is there any way to know what screen reader Electron might be detecting?

I'm running Windows 11 but it's detected as Windows 10 64-Bit (10.0.22621)

https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/accessibility Specifically I was seeing information here about the detection

Accessibility | Electron

Accessibility concerns in Electron applications are similar to those of websites because they're both ultimately HTML.

Part of me feels like it might not be an Electron thing, though, as VS Code doesn't experience the same

make a minimal repro, this isn't a server for discord's desktop app lol
