Oh that's weird. with older versions of windows you were able to pick your browser and it stayed.

Happens to me as well, at times, and seems like edge keeps on trying to take back control of protocol types, etc.
As in, while, maybe an htttp link will still open with either firefox, or chrome, depending on which I have set as default browser, but, then an https link will open in edge, etc. etc.
Haven't found a way to stop this from happening consistently as of yet, but anyway.
Stay well

That is strange. If you have firefox set as your browser then it should be it. Not edge.

Hi, I have the browser set to Firefox. However when I click on a link within an email message, it is opened with MSFT Edge. This does not happen all the time. Any idea? Thanks and blessings Pascal

Windows key + Enter should, hopefully, get narrator to start talking, and, it should be able to read some of the logon screen to you, but, only really allows you to navigate using tab, and arrow keys.
Good luck

I followed the instructions in the mesage below to copy the current configuration to the Windows logon screen. However, i missed the checkbox to have NVDA work at that screen. Now after making some changes, including setting Windows to never slep, it boots directly into the logon dialogue and says Configuring Windows. That is the NVDA mesage, but it won't do anything more. Is there a way to get past this dialogue and proceed to a normal boot?
Thanks, John

Secure desktop is the desktop for things like UAC screens, and the Windows logon screen.
This uses a completely different NVDA profile, with a separate speech/braille config. By default it's set to espeak.
My first guess is your machine is going to sleep, and it's asking for your password when it wakes up. You can turn off sleep in the power options.
If you want to copy the current configuration to the secure desktop, so it uses the same speech/braille settings as the logged in NVDA, you can do that. * Press ctrl+NVDA+G, to open the NVDA General settings. * Press the button that says Use currently saved settings on the logon and other secure screens (requires administrator privileges). * If the secure desktop appears during this process, it's probably an UAC prompt. Press alt y. If you want NVDA to work at the logon screen, the General settings dialog
has a checkbox for that as well.

If I don't do anything on my machine for a while it goes to Secure Desktop, whatever that is, and NVDA is not working. The only way I can get out of it is to shut down the machine and turn it back on. Does anyone know what Secure Desktop is and how to get rid of it?
Thanks, John
