Wow, I didn't know Windows 10 had audio description. After reading
Becky's message, I did some poking around on the net.
I found some articles that say Windows 10 supports audio description. In
other words, if the video has a description track, Windows plays it
automatically if you turn the feature on in the Ease of Access Center.
The easiest way to find the setting is by pressing the Start key and
typing, "audio description," in the search box. The right result says
something like, "Control Panel, turn audio description on." Press enter
there. Then tab through the check boxes until you find the one for audio
description. Check the item, tab to OK, and press enter.
The articles say the option is in the Ease of Access Center under Use
the Computer Without a Display. Though I find this item often when I
don't want it, I couldn't find it by pressing Windows+u and tabbing,
which is what the articles say to do.
Anyway, I just enabled the feature on my computer. I don't have any
videos to test with. Just passing the info along.
