I really object to disabling UAC. While it can be defeated by some malware, I don't know how much, I see no reason to disable a layer of protection when all you have to do is issue the command

Hi If you do not want the UAC screen to come up when installing nvda and some other programs he will need to do the following. Press the windows key and in the search box type uac it should come up

But if it hasn't been used for years, maybe there is something wrong.  Have you checked updates to see if any are shown to be installed? Open the start menu, type update and press enter.  Let the

Thank you, yes.  This was a computer in my wife's play room which she seldom used; not for two or three years.  I will look at your instructions and see which way is easiest.  And hopefully I can

If you are still all the way back on Windows 10 Version 1803 then Windows Update has been broken on your machine for a very, very long time indeed. I suggest you immediately follow these instructions,

Hello! You can try this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n78xf7022gdbsqr/NAPS2TesseractOCR_2022.06.nvda-addon?dl=1 It contains only a few OCR languages, but you can import the ones you need through

When I do  windows plus R and at the run prompt, type winver, the answer is version 1803 and build 17134 something.  I've tried to find how to update windows but can't find it.  It wants to update

That's good. If that isn't well known, it should probably be publicized. I keep old versions of add-ons I use in case they disappear. Its nice to know they are still available.

Sorry for asking a non-nvda question earlier. But now I do have an nvda question: I have been trying to make entries in the nvda dictionary but they do not stick. I tried the default dictionary and

All the talk about add-ons recently has prompted me to think of the following question: Is anyone keeping a publicly accessible library of unsupported add-ons so those who want to use them

Hi, Howard, What version of windows are you using? If it's a much older version, then you'd have to use a much older version of NVDA. Hope this helps. Rosemarie
