To verify whether Windows Narrator is running or not using C#, you can check the active state of the "Narrator" process. Here's an example:

csharp
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
bool isNarratorRunning = IsProcessRunning("Narrator");

if (isNarratorRunning)
{
Console.WriteLine("Windows Narrator is running.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Windows Narrator is not running.");
}
}

static bool IsProcessRunning(string processName)
{
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(processName);
return processes.Length > 0;
}
}

In this code, the IsProcessRunning method checks if any process with the specified name (in this case, "Narrator") is currently running. The method utilizes the GetProcessesByName method from the Process class to obtain a list of processes matching the given name. If the length of the returned array is greater than zero, it means that the process is running.

The code then checks the result and prints whether Windows Narrator is running or not.

Make sure to run the program with the necessary permissions to access process information. Also, note that the process name might be different depending on the Windows version or language settings.

Please note that the "Narrator" process may have a different name in different versions of Windows. You can check the actual process name by examining the running processes in the Task Manager or Process Explorer. Adjust the processName parameter accordingly in the code.
