Windows 10: Windows default voice not applied

Hello,changing my default speech voice in Windows 10 21H1 OS Build 19043.1165, text-to-speech settings from David to Zira. However, all applications still use David. In example, when I start 'Ease of Access' from control panel, it reads out loud in David's voice.This is the same with all other applications using Windows default voice. The only thing where Zira is applied is the Narrator, which I do not need.Is there some other task or settings I must use to change to Zira's voice everywhere? Thank you!

:)
