Running latest version of Win 10 and NVDA 2021-2.
I have searched and searched for the check box to enable or disable fast startup and NVDA doesn't read it if it is there. Am I missing something?

Hmph, one reason not to get that software then.

To be honest I have often wandered about getting something better than microsoft defender but have not done so.

I have bgt programs, old visual basic programs and stuff microsoft chooses to detect as problematic.

So I have excluded my data drive, and my 2 backups which are used for backups as well as several folders on my hard drive, mostly programs.

So any blind game, or any blindness related anything is excluded because I just don't trust defender that much.

Even with this done I have had to manually exclude and allow certain files through manually.

And for now that works.

Sometimes if I need to keep the backups in for a longer time than normal, I turn off protection completely, do my business then turn it back on again.

The backups generally are not on for more than 10 minutes a day if that sometimes barely a minute or 2.

I have no real trust for antivirus or anti malware software and if I could do without it I probably would.

Thing is I know I need it, but its annoying enough that I have read several hacker articles to make it not work ever again.

Every time its gotten bad I have seriously conciddered making it go away for ever!

I have always managed to get round the issue in a round about way but even so I am glad its foollishness has not spread to my data drive.

I guess if push came to shove I could say no to several older apps and that would be the end of it but when it hits a lot of software who knows.

I have of course reported several apps when I had the last issues but doubt microsoft security ever read those as I never got any responce.

There isn't anything going on anymore but I am to scared to test that theory.

Plus my experience with microsoft has really make me mistrustfull of bits of it.

Hello all,

I'm seeing some trends lately that I feel need addressing. If you disagree, please send emails to nvda+owner@nvda.groups.io, as this topic will be locked.

  • Eloquence: This topic has been discussed to death. Unless you are using a purchased copy of Eloquence, or you obtain it by purchase, it is not legal, and will not be discussed here. NVAccess is on board with this. Please do not post anything re any free Eloquence add-ons, libraries, etc. Anyone repeatedly doing so will be placed on moderated status, and continued violations may result in a ban. Cracked software in general is not permitted on Groups.io, and certainly not here.
  • Recently, an individual posting tutorials to this list received some unkind feedback. Whether feedback is legitimate or not, the individual in question is taking time out of their day to create helpful tutorials for the benefit of us all, and any individual doing that does not deserve the treatment they have received on this list. Moreover, sending tutorials to this list is permitted, as long as content pertains to NVDA. Usually, there is no reason to provide a response to such a post. If future tutorials are sent and are greeted with the kind of reception that this past one received, we may very well inact a policy that any posting of tutorial will immediately be locked.
  • This list aims to be a helpful resource. We have surpassed 1,500 members, and everyone is here to engage in the wider NVDA community. When posting, please reflect whether your post adds value to anything being discussed. There are a couple of individuals who post who don't typically contribute much value to anything they post. Please reflect on what you are posting, and ask yourself what your message adds to a discussion. If it is simply a one-line two-word message, it is likely not necessary. Also, I do believe that each individuals should be responsible for doing a bit of research whenever they post a query, and it is good practice to say what research you have done, or what things you've tried so that we don't cover ground you've already covered. It is also incumbent on each person to try to read through an entire thread before responding, to make sure that they know what has been answered. Moreover, while research is encouraged and requested, if your only response is to tell someone to "Google it" without providing links to references, your post is not welcome, as it simply isn't helpful. It's fine to point someone to resources. It is not okay to simply tell someone to Google it. If everyone Googled things, read the manual in its entirety, and listened to existing tutorials, we would have very little to no traffic, and this list would likely not have a reason for existing.

Thanks everyone.

the version of IBM-tts with the extra languages is on IBM's public ftp software site and you need filezilla to get at it well filezilla is easiest for me anyway and you can get filezilla from ninite.com ...

but if you are learning for the first time you may want more human sounding voices rather than a 20-year-old IBM-tts which is public domain because support for that old sapi4 product has long since ended. I guess you could use IBM-tts if you want to, after all, its free for the taking from IBM's public ftp site. Or you could buy vocalizer because it has Japanese voices also.

Brett,
What HumanWare braille displays do you have? You could have a Brailliant BI as I do, but I don't want to assume.

If your HumanWare display is a Brailliant BI, have you tried resetting the device by holding down the power button on the Brailliant for 10 seconds? In the device settings (the settings on the braille display itself, not NVDA), is the protocol set to HumanWare or OpenBraille? I would suggest trying to switch protocols on your braille display and/or resetting the device. Then see if NVDA can detect it.

Did you reboot since this problem started?  As with other odd problems with no known solution, rebooting is one of the first things to try.

Hello,
have you tried restarting NVDA with addons disabled? An addon might
interfere with the procedure of assembling your list of Braille
display drivers.
Are we talking about the list that you get when pressing NVDA+CTRL+a?

Hello there,



These might be a few questions and suggestions that might help you:

Have you been using NVDA for long? If so, did this issue appear in 2021.2? or, have you just installed 2021.2 for the first time and got this error?
Have you installed the drivers relating to Humanware displays? I don’t know if there are any, but installing drivers might help your issue.



Hope these two things help.

Best regards.

Re: new subscriber with braille display issues

Shaun Everiss
 

Firstly what are your displays.

Secondly, if you run a portable of the new nvda beta check for updates then rerun the older version it should fix it.

There is an python console import command and an addon but others may have the information, its round 8 pm and I am to lazy to look for all that but its somewhere in the archive I think.

From my cloud file backup the instructions are the following.

nvda root certs issue
From python console, nvda shift z paste.
import updateCheck; updateCheck._updateWindowsRootCertificates()

If you paste that import line in that will fix it.

Its got to do with expired certs and other complex things I forgot its fixed in latest betas of nvda.

Do you have drivers for all your displays and are they installed.

If neither of those work or they are to old, if you install brltty and all the usb libraries and run all displays in brltty mode or open braille mode I think its going to at least work.

I haven't much experience but the local university gave me an orbit 20 to test.

And the only way I was able to get it working at that stage was in brltty mode though I did use the native driver.
