Re: OT: Windows 10 update behaving oddly since yesterday - Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.418)
Jacob,
This question is off-topic for here, but I'll try to give you some help before I lock it. First, if you are experiencing unexpected issues immediately or very shortly after any Windows update has been applied, then the first thing you should do is use the Windows 10 built-in capability to uninstall the latest update that’s suspected of causing the issue: 1. Open Settings, Update & Security. This should take you to the Windows Update Pane by default. 2. In the Windows Update Pane, locate the View update history control, and activate it. 3. In the View Update History dialog, locate the Uninstall updates link and activate it. 4. In the Installed Updates dialog, the updates will be listed in groupings, with the groups alphabetically ordered, and the items within each group ordered by date – most recently installed first (if no one has changed the defaults). In most cases, you’ll be looking to uninstall a Microsoft Windows update, and those are generally the final group. The number of updates available for uninstalling is shown in parentheses after the Microsoft Windows group name. 5. Almost all Windows Updates will have a KB number associated with them, and if you know that use this as what you search on for the actual update. Select it. 6. Activate the Uninstall button located above the list of updates, and the selected update will be uninstalled. There is a group, Windows 10 for Screen Reader Users, that is appropriate for this question and where it's likely to get an answer or answers far more rapidly than it might here: Subscribe: win10+subscribe@win10.groups.io Post: win10@win10.groups.io We also have the NVDA Chat Subgroup, but in this case I'd strongly suggest "going to the source." This topic is now locked. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide

Re: Going to Top/End of Document with Braille Display
David Csercsics
There is but only if you have the braille extender add-on installed. If you want to get something useful from NVDA I recommend you install the add-on. The commands are a bit weird though. Nothing at all like VoiceOver or JAWS so it'd take a bit to get used to. Once that add-on is installed then you can read the documentation and see all the commands assigned. I think maybe the braille note touch emulates a brailliant, but I'm not sure. If that's the case I can probably help you if you have trouble.

Going to Top/End of Document with Braille Display
kelby carlson
Is there a way to go to the top and bottom of documents with a Braille display? I am using a BrailleNote Touch, and the typical dot 1-2-3 and 4-5-6 chords do not work. I also do not see this command in the input gestures dialogue.

Auto alt text with Chrome.
First, yes, I am well aware this is so Google can get more data from websites. A part of me has trouble caring, honestly. If it results in a free product and free services, well, that's a price I'm more than willing to pay. Anyway, the below is a support page on this new Chrome feature and below the page will be NVDA instructions on how to enable this. I doubt Microsoft will enable this because they are more privacy conscious, but here's instructions anyway. The support article in question. NVDA Instructions.

OT: Windows 10 update behaving oddly since yesterday - Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.418)
Jacob Kruger
Yesterday evening, as I was telling windows 10 to shut down, it informed me that it had to install an update, so I told it to go ahead, and, left it running until it had powered off.
Now, this morning, the start menu, focus returning to things like thunderbird, after I close a message was reading, etc., etc. are not cooperating like they did yesterday. In case it could make a difference, I tried firing up the latest alpha version of NVDA running in portable mode, but, no change. In other words, wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, and, if I should try something like a clean install of NVDA, or is this simply the latest tweak to windows 10's own interface - for example, neither windows key + M, or windows key + D will bring focus to the desktop, or minimise all windows, and, if I manage to get focus into the windows status bar, using windows key + B, or by tabbing around a bit, it only seems to allow me to navigate through roundabout 5 icons/items, whereas, if I use the sysTrayList NVDA add-on, then there are 9 of them hovering around there. In other words, is this a brand new tweak to the windows UI, or is there possibly something else I should try find/correct? And, asking this here, since I have never had this form of a problem in terms of windows UI interaction before while working with NVDA, so, don't really think there's an issue there, but, don't know where else to ask. Stay well Jacob Kruger +2782 413 4791 "Resistance is futile...but, acceptance is versatile..."

Hi
Do you mean Windows PE
If it is that one where you can say prepare it before you put on windows there is a link off my nvda tutorials for other programs page at http://accessibilitycentral.net/nvda%20tutorials%20for%20other%20programs.html When you get to that page jump down by headings until you get to it.
It looks as though when I looked there is one for windows 7 and 10.
Or is it another program?

You can still buy laptops with cd drives but I would go with the externals if you can. Firstly there is extra thickness in laptops with drives and its heavier. The drives are fine a bit faster but its not like you use cds daily mostly anyway. The portable drive can be used on many devices.

My ultrabook workstation doesn't come with a cd drive. However there are cheap lg ones you can buy and the drives don't cost that much. In fact there are drives designed for basic ultrabooks and the like and I'd never go back.

windows xp and seven are both my favorite operating system. both of them have there advantages. but i dont love change just for change without any logical reason for myself! about windows ten, i really hate it and i am sure that never use it. i dont want an operating system that i am concern for my privacy, updates itself automaticly, and i should disable tens of settings that it becomes usable for me without concern about privacy! moreover, i always follow technology news and win ten fortunately has not even one important feature or change that i cant live without it! dont worry, anyone who wish to discuss furthere, she-he can email me!

Re: ripping and burning cds using nvda
Damien Garwood <damien@...>
Hi Arlene,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
For ripping, I use GoldWave (goldwave.com). Unfortunately that isn't free, and it isn't a dedicated CD ripper even though it is very good at it. I used to use the free dedicated ripper CDEX (cdex.mu), until it became riddled with adware. Of course, there is still the portable version, but that is quite a bit older. Note that these tools cannot burn CD's. For burning, I have been using a program called CDBurnerXP (cdburnerxp.se) for a while now. Don't get confused by the "XP" in the name - I have successfully used it on Windows 7 and beyond. Note though that the default installer comes with InstallCore (some kind of advertising platform), so to get the clean installer and/or portable version you need to click on the "more download options" link on the download page. That is a free burner that can do everything from CD to DVD, data or audio. All three tools are more or less totally accessible with NVDA and are, in my view, a lot simpler and a lot more flexible than using Winamp's equivalents or the builtin Windows tools. Hope this helps. Cheers, Damien.
