Yes it does, but you have to enable it in Sounds in Control Panel.

Re: NVDA Curiosity

According to what I've seen on another list, it
does have one. But because of the quick boot feature, you won't hear it
unless you do a full reboot if you have quick boot enabled. That's because
a quick boot is not a full boot from Windows being completely unloaded where as
a reboot is.
I've also seen comments that the Windows 10
boot up sound can be changed but it requires making a change in the
registry.

That was the idea behind starting this thread.
I posted it because I may be a little bias because I love NVDA. I especially love the report spelling errors when typing. It really cuts down on spell checker. I also know that we have some developers that read this forem. and I thought it may be a good way for them to obtain information. Chris

Re: NVDA Curiosity
Roger Stewart
I think that if all that is heard is one or two folks saying this isn't working right then it may appear there is a more or less serious bug in nvda. However, if many others say all is good (especially with the specific programs that are giving others trouble) then it would appear that isn't an nvda problem at all. This is not to "slap in the face" or deny that these problems don't exist, but just to get things into prospective so the real problems can be identified and fixed for the good of all.

Re: [nvda\] NVDA Devils advocate
Arlene
Exactly! When we did beta test jaws. We had to tell what version of windows we had. Back when Jaws was 5.0 there was windows xp, me, 98 and 95. So we had to say what we were using. Most or almost everybody was using xp from what I remember. We also had to say the version of beta we were using.

Arlene observed, "Confirmed! If you have a certain bug. Some people can or can’t confirm your bug." Yep, because the number of variables that come into play to make certain bugs exhibit themselves are mind boggling (which is often why the software maker cannot replicate an issue even if they try to do so in what should be "the same environment" as it was encountered in by the user). We have folks with various versions of Windows, all sorts of different hardware, all sorts of assistive technology beyond NVDA potentially installed, all sorts of programs in general besides NVDA installed, and the list goes on. Each and every one of those things has the potential to set things up *juuuuuust right* for you, and only you (or a very small number of people who have the same combination as you), to encounter a given bug. I often think it's a bit of a miracle that most software functions at all given the number of variables at play that the developers have no control over and may have never even had a reason to conceive of.
