Hi, Gene NZ,

You'
re right. I did have the developers version so I uninstalled it and got the
stable version. Everything's back to normal now. Thanks.

hi


it might be a good idea to see which version of the add on you have. I was
100 percent sure mine was stable but when i checked it said it was a
developers version. so i uninstalled it and got the stable version and
installed it and it seems back to normal. maybe you are running a developers
version as well?

hi


I just notice when i went to do a search on my windows 10 computer it
does not seem to go into focus mode to type in your search. This is
using nvda
2017.2 and the very latest win essentials. I am using the stable
version of that add on.

Also if any thing did come up as mentioned there was no sound and i do
not hink any results.


I disabled the add on and every ting goes back to normal. I can put in
the search and it comes up results.


can any one else come up with the same results? put the add on back on
and it goes strange again. By the way i am using wind 10 creators update.

Is there a way to downgrade the addon version?

Running the latest next build of NVDA on a Win 10 64 bit system.

Have audio ducking set to No ducking yet ducking seems to be active. No such issue before this build.
Re: Win10 Essentials: NO sounds or Suggestions

Hi,
For people experiencing issues Rob and Gene are talking about, make sure the latest Windows 10 App Essentials version you've got is:
* NVDA 2017.2: version 17.08.1 with update channel set to stable.
* NVDA master or next: 20170809A-dev or later.
Cheers,
Joseph

I got lost in this somewhere.
I've never had that sound that I can recall when hitting the start button. I used 2017.2 fora short while, but each time I used firefox and I switched to a different window and back to the browser it would have focus mode switched to on. I would even try to hit escape or NVDA and spacebar to toggle it off. The only way I could go back to using firefox again was to restart the entire program. It didn't do that to me with Chrome, just firefox. I downgraded to 2017.1 and had kept the app updated.

Today when I updated the addon (I have it look for updates) it started doing the same thing to me again. So I have 2017.1 and the latest build of app essentials. Should I install one of the latest snapshots of NVDA or try to find a downgrade from the current version of app essentials to fix this problem?

sorry for not creating a new thread regarding this, but I thought it might be related some how since Gene had mentioned his issue with forms mode being wonky.

hi


check your version of win essentials I was 100 percent sure i was
running the stable version but when i checked it was a developers
version. If that is the case uninstall the developers version and grab
the stable version of it and install it. It fixed my problem so far. I
will do some more testing to make sure.

Hi Joseph


I was sure 100 percent i was using the stable version but when i looked

uninstalled it then went and got the stable version and installed it and

Re: Win10 Essentials: NO sounds or Suggestions

hi


I just notice when i went to do a search on my windows 10 computer it
does not seem to go into focus mode to type in your search. This is
using nvda 2017.2 and the very latest win essentials. I am using the
stable version of that add on.

Also if any thing did come up as mentioned there was no sound and i do
not hink any results.


I disabled the add on and every ting goes back to normal. I can put in
the search and it comes up results.


can any one else come up with the same results? put the add on back on
and it goes strange again. By the way i am using wind 10 creators update.

current add-on development snapshots contain code that'll not work in prior
NVDA releases. The issue Rob has reported is because the swoosh sound you
would have heard when you search for things in Start menu is now part of
NVDA itself, starting from version 2017.3. In other words, I am the
developer who coded search suggestion sounds code in NVDA (along with fixing
repeated toast announcement bug) , which supports Gene's assertions from
earlier that features of some add-ons are being integrated into NVDA if NV
Access believes it'll benefit everyone. There are some interesting things NV
Access and the community (including I) are researching, which should make
NVDA more powerful and fun to use in the future, but as noted, sacrifices
must be made along the way.
Cheers,

Re: Suggestion: Switch from Email List to a Forum

Antony Stone
 

I would have no objection to changing the list to a forum provided that:

a) it remains possible for those who prefer email to continue to both send and
receive messages by email

b) it remains possible to search an archive of the list/forum so that people
who have questions in the future which have already been answered have a
chance of finding that answer through Google etc

I would most definitely not be in favour of moving from a mailing list to a
forum if that requires everybody to log in to a web page and look there for
any new messages.


Antony.

Hi,


Okay, I'm not trying to kick the hornet's nest, but would it be more
beneficial to switch from groups.io to a web forum? PunBB, for example,
is very accessible and configurable, and it can be set up to email users
when they get a message from a forum topic that a user has subscribed to.


Cheers,

Re: running nvda in admin mode?

Joseph Lee
 

Hi,
If I'm reading this thread correctly, what Sarah might be referring to is a way to launch the portable copy of NVDA with admin privileges (UI Access).
To Sarah: whoever is asking you this question, please tell that person that the only "real" way of running NVDA with admin privileges is installing it.
Cheers,
Joseph

If you have NVDA on the desktop, place the focus there and hit the

Hi,


I'm not a programmer either, however, I can tell you that it is written in the Python programming language which I do have an interest in learning myself. So, we are in the same boat here.

Hi,


Yes, in order for remote access to work in NVDA, both systems have to have it installed.

Hi List,

How does NVDA performs during remote access?

Do both machines need to have NVDA running during remote access?

Hoping your answers.

Hi,
Are you perhaps using NVDA 2017.2? If so, you are not alone in this
situation: I have warned folks that they should switch to stable update
channel for a while until NVDA 2017.3 is released unless they are running
latest master or next NVDA snapshots. This is more so now on today's
snapshot (20170810_, as I've officially turned on live region change event
support throughout the add-on.
