It may be overheating and rebooting. Aside
from the inconvenience, I don't know if the problem is worth looking into
further. If the computer gets that hot daily, I don't know if it might
shorten the life of the computer. But this may be a sympttom of a problem
that should be looked into. I would suggest running a utility that
measures the temperature and checking it during playing of a movie.

I'm using a Minix Neo Mini PC box running Windows 10 1803. This box sometimes
reboots unexpectedly when using the Kodi media center to listen to DV movies,
music and radio stations.
So yes, in normal cases you wouldn't have a need to reboot your PC too often.
In my particular case it happens on a daily basis. Why I just want to get rid of
it completely.

There hasn't been, since the introduction of Windows XP, any reason to shut
down and reboot more than every few days or once a week or even longer,
depending on how you use your computer. You need to shut down sometimes
because just using hibernate or sleep does the same thing as leaving the
computer running without rebooting for an extended time does. It results
in instability. But I only reboot when about a week goes by or if
instability develops before that. The way I use my computers it usually
doesn't.

Yes, that's exactly the panel. I just want to go directly to the field for
entering my pin after startup. I find myself pressing [Escape], [Tab] etc.
multiple times just to get rid of that screen and locate the entry field for
inputting my pin.
Really is a pain in the butt!

Strange behavior of NVDA and Windows 10 at machine startup
I've experienced it too. It's like Windows is presenting me with all of
the built-in accessibility options for me to select from, before logging
into Windows. Nice for those who don't know about them. Not so great for
those of us who do.
The problem is that I've already chose NVDA as the accessibility option
to be use at startup, and having to navigate out of this screen to reach the
screen for inputting my pin is a pain.
I just want a way to disable this lock screen
verbiage all together. Let me boot up into Windows, input my pin and get
started. Stop presenting me with a bunch of stuff I don't care about. Give
me a choice in the matter would you Microsoft?

Hello all,
Chris, it is not so. Firstly, I don't hear Narrator speaking and in
such a case I should, because it uses a different voice from NVDA.
Secondly, I don't see the Narrator Cursor on the screen and with my
settings I should, if Narrator is running. Thirdly, I checked in Control
Panel -> Ease of access -> Change sign-in settings and Narrator
there is not set to run neither on the lock screen, nor after I sign
in.
Part of the described in my first message behavior (the one about
displaying user information on the lock screen) might be considered as
normal, specially if Microsoft have done some changes as to how things
load after a "Fast Boot". But I don't think displaying the "Ease of
access" menu without me invoking it manually could be considered a normal
behavior. And some more food for thought: shouldn't the user's things and
information be loaded after he signs in and not before that (?).
I could, and probably will, contact Microsoft about this, but firstly I
wanted to ask if I'm the only one experiencing this. I don't think so,
because I've experienced it in my virtual machine with Windows 10 Insider
Preview, but I've attributed it to the slowness of the virtual machine.
Apparently that is not the case.
I've temporarily disabled "Fast Boot" and will test how things go.

It sounds like you have both narrator and nvda to

As for the other stuff you can change them in
settings > personalization > lock screen
So nothing unusual at all really 😃
Hello all,
I've noticed this strange behavior after the update of Windows 10 to
version 1803. The behavior is the following. When the machine starts and
Windows 10 loads, it gets to the lock screen as it should. Initially it
all looks normal, but only for a while. Moments after that, the lock
screen displays not only the time and date as it normally does, but
user-specific information as well (e.g. weather forecast, upcoming
alarms, etc.). Not only that, but the NVDA startup sound is heard, as if
the desktop copy of NVDA is loaded, even though it should load only when
the specific user signs in. I can't tell for sure if the desktop copy of
NVDA loads, because my NVDA settings for the desktop and secure screen
copies of it are the same. On top of that, the "Ease of access" menu
appears and NVDA starts reading its menu items one by one. This happens
when I power up the machine with "Fast Boot" enabled. I haven't tried
with "Fast Boot" disabled, but when I restart the machine, the behavior
described above does not occur. So, it must be related to "Fast Boot"
somehow. And this did not occur before the update to version 1803 of
Windows 10.
Has anyone else experienced the behavior described above? Have you
found any solutions besides turning off "Fast Boot"? Turning off "Fast
Boot" is also a solution, but I'd prefer to keep it on if possible.
