Re: Having Nvda not speak at the log on screen
Michael,
It's in the NVDA Settings, Preferences, Settings Item, General Pane (which is the one that opens by default). There are two checkboxes regarding how NVDA behaves at system startup, and I believe the one you're looking to uncheck is the second: 1. Start NVDA after I sign in. 2. Use NVDA during sign-in (requires administrator privileges) -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white. ~ Kelley Boorn

Having Nvda not speak at the log on screen
Michael Massey
Hi. On Tuesday, October 13 2020, the internet went down causing the Windows 10 updates on my Hp laptop to become corrupted. Numerous calls to the Microsoft disability answer desk finally straightened things out, well, pretty much The issue I need to resolve is how to stop Nvda from speaking at the log on screen along with Jaws. I have tried to find how to change the setting in the Nvda preferences menu but I seem to be missing a step. My laptop pc is running the most current build of Windows 10 pro edition version 2004 with build number 19,041.610. Thanks.

Re: NVDA marking messages as read in third-party E-mail applications
Gene
I already commented and asked a question but it appears that the e=-mail provider is somehow providing its own partnership with GMail. AT&T, my provider, used to have some sort of partnership with Yahoo Mail. I don't want my e-mail tied to a provider in case I change at some point. I use GMail for almost all my mail now, my own direct subscription.

Also, you said something about your provider switching to GMail. I'm not sure what you are describing. If your provider is somehow partnering with GMail, you can solve the problem by establishing your own completely independent GMail account and switching your list mail to that account.

Re: NVDA marking messages as read in third-party E-mail applications
Oops, left off "unnecessarily complicated," at the end. Using a half-and-half webmail and half email client is, put mildly, unnecessarily complicated.

Evidently you are saying that if you reply to a message using the GMail web interface, all mail is marked as read in Windows Live Mail. I don't know why that would be but why do you reply using the web interface? If you explain that, we may be able to tell you how to do what you want in the e-mail program so you won't have the problem.

For what your trying to do make sure the desk or laptop has enough power.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Your looking for CPU's with 8 or more cores and high thread if you go vertual machine. In either case make sure you have 32 gmb or better.The rest is what you like. See vm's are power hogs and remotes can have lag. That is why you build for power. Then all you have is software issues.

Re: NVDA marking messages as read in third-party E-mail applications
Gene
I don't know why you are having the reply using the web interface problem and I don't see what NVDA would have to do with it. First, when you look at mail in Windows Live mail, is the view pane on or off? If the view pane is on, every message you move to even if you don't read it will be marked as read because you are opening the message. If you are saying that using the Internet interface of your e-mail program or of the list causes all mail to be seen by your e-mail program as read, I see no reason for that. As far as I know, there is no connection between your e-mail program and viewing mail in these ways as far as the program knowing what messages are read.

Unsupported versions of any software may only be discussed on the Chat Subgroup, not the main NVDA Group. Windows: Only Windows 8.1 and currently supported versions of Windows 10. Members should refer to the Windows Lifecycle Fact Sheet to determine which versions of Windows are currently supported. Information about the dates on which specific versions of Windows 10 reached or will reach their end of service dates is listed there as well and will be updated as new versions are released. Also, there is absolutely no new hardware that is available with anything other than Windows 10, so if you're looking for a new computer that is what you will get and that is what you will have to get used to using.

Re: supporting dell laptops for screen readers.
Zahra,
I am not questioning your memory, as I know that at different times different issues can crop up. But I have three HP laptops of reasonably recent (last 6 years) vintage in my household, and none have any issue with running NVDA. I'm typing to you from one of those right now. I would not worry that any currently available HP laptop is likely to have issues with running NVDA (or any screen reader, really). -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white. ~ Kelley Boorn
