Re: NVDA not giving accurate feedback

Ah, this sounds like our old friend lag again. I even see this on windows 7. I think its actually a lag in the info provided by windows, but of course it was massively affected by tweaking the processor speed on idle. I'm sure there is an article about his is there not.

If that is not the culprit then I agree, restarting nearly always puts things back as they were. If this behaviour is elsewhere though it may well be something else going on. Brian bglists@...

general announcement on windows 10 update and hp computers.
Hi.
I am not sure if this is multi os or not but maybe its only win10. I got an update for hp hid devices today that I thought I allready installed. The update will not install, and further more simply tries to install again and again. I origionally thought that it was a bios issue and since there was an update for my new workstation I loaded it. Its happening on my aunt's workstation. Now looking at the software distribution folder its an update to the wireless button keyboard driver which isn't really important that it install. Now since its happened on 2 hp units its probably a ms detection issue or a windows hardware bug the sysdev page doesn't show so who knows when I search for it so maybe its an issue that will be solved. For now https://support.microsoft.com/en-nz/help/4026726/windows-hide-windows-updates-or-driver-updates This link has a troubleshooter that will hide or show updates and is a 45kb file, such a pitty this is not part of windows update anymore. Anyway if You get drivers like this that just don't want to load you can hide them so they don't try to install. And they can stay hidden to till you need to reinstall windows again. Then you hide them again. I'd usually complain to ms on this issue but its just not that important a driver. Hp has the latest drivers which I have installed and all needs to be done is to have the effected thing hide so it doesn't install loop every update check. I wouldn't take this approach with every update but for this one it works, also if an update breaks you can hide it if you want. I wouldn't hide updates that are critical but this will solve it for us. Now that update may appear again hopefully when ms fixes it later which they probably will do in the coming days. I got this update earlier in the month and it came from last year at the end of it so who knows why its being stupid now. I am sure its a detection issue, probably server side, and will be fixed sooner or later, there will not be any documented issue as with all driver updates unless its really so bad it needs it but there we go.

Hi, if you are using Windows 10 when you hear the notification come up simply do the following colon hold down Windows key + shift + press v as in Victor and you will go to the notification and you can click on it or dismiss it David more

Hi Friends,
Sometimes, a notification balloon pops-up telling me about something on my PC. For a sighted person, they would click on the balloon and would then be taken to the relevant thing. In NVDA. how can I get to the balloon notification to review it and activate (click on) it? I am using Windows 10-- With Regards. -- Mohammad Afzal Khan.

I've created the issue: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9170 I simply suggested swapping to the new Braille table, but please advise if Joseph's second option of merging the two tables has merit.

Download it from this site:
There are two versions, a portable and an installed
version. Carlos, who ran another list and died a little over a year ago,
and who contributed in important ways to the blind community, made the
program either accessible or far more than it was. Obviously, these are
Carlos' versions.

Re: Norwegian 8 dot braille table used by nvda
Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Ah, this is similar to Unified English Braille table migration a few years back. There are two options I can think of: 1. Replace the old one with the new table (the original suggestion). 2. Combine the tables together somehow - that is, merge the old table into the new one, keeping the file name the same. Cheers, Joseph

Re: NVDA not giving accurate feedback

Make sure you are in object navigation. I
don't know if there is any connection between the problem and the update but if
the update is changing your setting from object navigation to screen navigation,
you will have problems like what you are describing and maybe what is being
described in the first message.

Re: NVDA not giving accurate feedback
Quentin Christensen
Hi Greg, Firstly, have you restarted the computer since you updated? That's the first thing to do if you haven't already. 99% of the time that will resolve these kind of random issues. If it's still happening, does it happen everywhere, or in particular programs or situations? Restarting NVDA with add-ons disabled is worth trying, and after all that, if you send me a copy of your log to info@... I can have a look and see if I can find anything there. Kind regards Quentin.
