Did you try running the registration tool in nvda menu/tools, and or restarting your computer to see if that would work? Also, what eversion of windows are you running, what version of nvda and did you also try with all add ons disabled?

It isn't a shortcut.  It is actually a Windowss command to move the cursor right by word and NVDA is programmed to read the word the cursor moves through.

I don't know why it isn't reading properly but are you saying it is in Notepad and not in other programs such as Word or Wordpad or a browser?  I suspect you may be having the problem because word wrap is off in Notepad. Notepad doesn't create new lines.  If something you are working on is just a string of text with no line feeds, Notepad sees it as one continuous line and movement doesn't work as you expect.
Open the menus in Notepad.
Right arrow to format and down arrow.
When you get to word wrap, do you hear checked if you let Word wrap be spoken and then wait for a second or two?  If not, press enter when you are on Word Wrap.  It is now turned on and I think the problem will be solved.

I don't know why he does it, but I do so to edit inn Wordpad just as in Word processors and in selecting text.

Word Wrap may well not be the problem. I wrote a lot of text as a test after seeing your message and control right arrow moved properly. I don't know what the problem is. Word wrap might as well be tried, though it probably won't help.

I read words and lines in notepad by using insert and up arrow to read the

Both work fine with Wordwrap on and off!

Been there.  That being said, this generally applies to everything.  You're "stuck in a time delay" on every blessed piece of software in the ecosystem and automatic updating of anything is not permitted to take place.  Thus, you're not presented with a situation where NVDA and/or its add-ons can update while the operating system can't.  The IT department centrally controls it all.

Re: Windows 10 Upgrade and Windows 10 App Essentials

Hi Richard,

I downloaded the 1909 media creation tool and it wouldn't allow me to use it.  It recommended that I use the tool for 2004--the one that gives me the error about my PC settings being incompatible for 2004.

I think I will call the Microsoft Disability line later today.  Maybe one of those gurus can help.

I have my system set to automatically receive windows updates. I have no delays or any other qualifications for this.  However, I am still stuck on windows 1903. Worse than that, I had saved a tool to upgrade from 1903 to 1909 and used it on my older 32 bit system.  Unfortunately, when I try running it on my newer system, I get an error and it recommends I use the latest upgrade package for windows 2004 May 10 2020 release. This is the tool that tells me I can't upgrade yet.  So what do I do?

Which brings us back to why it's so important to:

1. Identify the version and build of Windows 10 under which you're running everything you're running, including NVDA.

2. Keep your version of Windows 10 up to date.  At this point in time, that would mean Version 1909 at the oldest.

When you hear that the next Feature Update is about to be released, regardless of what that happens to be numbered, if your machine is not already on the version immediately previous to that one, then take the steps necessary to manually update, as by that point all machines should have been automatically updated to it, and if they have not been, that means manual intervention is needed.

This can be done either by going to the Microsoft Windows 10 Download Page and using the Update Assistant (Update this PC button) or, preferably in my opinion, Doing a Windows 10 Repair Install or Feature Update Using the Windows 10 ISO file.

Right now anyone who's not already on 1909, and whose machine is giving the "not quite ready for Version 2004" message is in a bit of a bind, as the Media Creation Tool is now creating media for Version 2004, and if you don't already have the ISO file for 1909 you're not getting it (or getting it easily, anyway) from Microsoft.  If anyone happens to know if there is a page, at Microsoft (not elsewhere), that hosts the ISO files for those versions of Windows 10 still under support, but not the latest, please share, as I do not know of it.

Premature Forced Updates [Was "nvda Windows 10 Upgrade and Windows 10 App Essentials]

Marquette, Ed
 

Indeed, a forced upgrade ought to be a rare occurrence.  It should be remembered that updating to the latest version of Windows is often not an individual user’s choice.  Many organizations, in fact, most organizations I know about, deliberately stay at least one update (and sometimes two updates) behind.  One reason I’m told is that organizations are loathed to expend resources to update scores or hundreds of computers without a pretty strong reason, particularly since the interconnectivity of enterprise software is frequently affected by upgrades.  IT Departments tend to test upgrades pretty extensively before deploying them.  Often, an upgrade of Windows will be coordinated with an upgrade of Office too.  The second reason given is that new releases of anything tends to have bugs.  Waiting until the bugs are corrected seems like a wise choice.

I’m not sure I agree with either of the reasons, and I sometimes think they are really excuses, but I cannot say the reasoning is seriously flawed.

The point is that upgrades are simply not possible for some of us who are stuck in a system where individuals do not have administrative privileges and, therefore, cannot upgrade when they would like.

i believe that firefox at least not quantum version, is more
accessible than chrome.
i do numerous settings in firefox about:config
that i cant do in chrome.
in firefox before version 68,
disabling multiprocess is available, but in chrome not.
and for the user like me that i really hate automatic update,
in firefox, disabling autoupdate is possible in firefox, but not in chrome!

when i had windows seven, i tested chrome version 64, and i really
could not use material design settings of chrome.
even in some sighted websites, i read comments and people were angry
about new settings in chrome which is material settings.
for me that use a laptop from 2006!
2.5 gb ram, with two cores of cpu, disabling multiprocess is very important.
i love opensource softwares like firefox and nvda.
i love the program that gives me complete control over its settings
and behaviours.
these are the main reasons that i only use firefox and dont use chrome
and chrome based browsers!

hello every one.
as you know,
i use windows xp and firefox 52 with nvda versions 2017.2 and 2017.3.
my only browser is firefox and i really cant tolerate other browsers.
i had issue of firefox crashes in firefox old versions with nvda.
but did not observe firefox crashes at least in firefox 45!
once, i could access windows seven and i tested firefox 61 the crashes
returned frequently.
so, i observed firefox crashes in 30 minute of using firefox!
even in simple web pages like nvda user guide, and my gmail interface
which
is in basic html view, i had frequent crashes and firefox 61 was
completely
unusable for me!
when testing with windows seven, i only used and tested firefox 61 with
nvda
2017.2.
and i did not have nvda 2017.3 on that time.
i know one person who has a laptop from 2009 and for this reason, He
migrated to chrome!
i really wish some experts,
and who use only firefox and compare versions, especially users of old
laptops, help me that 1. is frequent crashing of firefox quantum with
nvda
is resolved or not?
2.
if the issue is resolved,
and mozilla released a stable version of firefox without crashes like
firefox 56 and before, please give me exact version number.
for example: tell me that firefox since version xxx became completely
stable
as it was before firefox quantum.
i searched in the internet and found only this link.
https://www.accessibilityoz.com/2018/11/accessibility-issues-with-firefox-quantum-and-screen-readers/
can someone please help?
can i use one day firefox quantum with nvda 2017.3 without any issues?
or, i should use firefox 52 forever?
thanks so much every one and God bless you all!

Admin's Notes: Addition to NVDA List Rules Re: Unsupported Software Discussion #adminnotice

Nimer Jaber
 
Edited

Hello everyone,
 
I have been intending to write this message for the past few days, however decided to wait to see if discussions of such nature continued. It seems as if they have, so I am sending this out to you all.
 
As a result of numerous discussions taking place regarding old versions of NVDA, Windows XP, and other such old and unsupported software, the NVDA list rules are being amended. If you have a question about the purpose of this change, or if you object to this change, please write to nvda+owner@nvda.groups.io with your thoughts. Please also note that the chat list remains open for any such discussion of Windows XP and such, although I would strongly urge you to update your operating system.
 
The NVDA Group rules are being amended to include the following:

The discussion of software on the NVDA Group is limited to software currently in support. Depending on the type of software, specific version numbers will change with time. Users are expected to know what remains in support and what has been dropped, and announcements will be made to this list when new software is released. It should be assumed that, when a new version of software is released, primary discussion will take place on that version, not versions of software which are years old.

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. With regard to Windows 8.1, its end of extended support date, January 10, 2023, is already known. Members on Windows 8.1 are expected to upgrade to a currently supported version of Windows either on or before that date. 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 their end of service dates is listed there as well and will be updated as new versions are released.

Note that it is acceptable to direct a user to the NVAccess site, or the Microsoft site, where older versions can be downloaded, however this is different than supporting a specific version of software, or operating system.

NVDA: NVDA has, at any given time, a single version under active support. If a question arises about how to update to that version, and you’re on an earlier version, that will be permitted as transition problems can occasionally occur.

I generally use Chrome because it seems, from the small amount of comparison I've done, to be faster and Firefox may lose its place on more complex pages until the pages really fully load. But I wouldn't be without Firefox. For one thing, Firefox does not automatically play audio. You have to use a play button. Firefox, because it isn't Google Chrome, and doesn't have a conflict of interest concerning gathering data on users, has more ;privacy features than Chrome. I can load a page in firefox and see whether any trackers known to Firefox are being used by the page.

Also, as I said, there are times when sites work better in Firefox and I gave one example.

I'm not saying you should use Firefox as your main browser, but if you are a demanding Internet user, you will very likely come across a page off and on that doesn't work well in Chrome that works much better in Firefox. How are you going to know unless you can test the page? All demanding blind Internet users have two or three different browsers.

Well, I find Chrome more responsive then firefox. It could have been that the last computer I had was 7 and it was badly slowing down. I just happen to like Chrome better. I know it’s like firefox. So, I don’t really need it.

Try it and see. Just because people generally report that a program doesn't

crash doesn't mean you will have the same performance, because there are

differences between systems, perhaps corruption, perhaps just differences.

Programs may work differently even on two different computers running the

same operating system and that have the same hardware. If your computer is

slow and overheats, those may be indications of problems with the system

that may influence the problems you are having.



And you are limiting yourself by refusing to use other browsers, such as

Chrome. We don't know why you won't use other browsers.

hello every one.
as you know,
i use windows xp and firefox 52 with nvda versions 2017.2 and 2017.3.
my only browser is firefox and i really cant tolerate other browsers.
i had issue of firefox crashes in firefox old versions with nvda.
but did not observe firefox crashes at least in firefox 45!
once, i could access windows seven and i tested firefox 61 the crashes
returned frequently.
so, i observed firefox crashes in 30 minute of using firefox!
even in simple web pages like nvda user guide, and my gmail interface
which
is in basic html view, i had frequent crashes and firefox 61 was
completely
unusable for me!
when testing with windows seven, i only used and tested firefox 61 with
nvda
2017.2.
and i did not have nvda 2017.3 on that time.
i know one person who has a laptop from 2009 and for this reason, He
migrated to chrome!
i really wish some experts,
and who use only firefox and compare versions, especially users of old
laptops, help me that 1. is frequent crashing of firefox quantum with nvda
is resolved or not?
2.
if the issue is resolved,
and mozilla released a stable version of firefox without crashes like
firefox 56 and before, please give me exact version number.
for example: tell me that firefox since version xxx became completely
stable
as it was before firefox quantum.
i searched in the internet and found only this link.
https://www.accessibilityoz.com/2018/11/accessibility-issues-with-firefox-quantum-and-screen-readers/
can someone please help?
can i use one day firefox quantum with nvda 2017.3 without any issues?
or, i should use firefox 52 forever?
thanks so much every one and God bless you all!

Zahra, its time you moved on. Xp is long gone. I know it meets your needs. What are you going to do if that computer dies.  It’s not good to cling to the old clunker xp.  The longer you stay with xp the less sites you’ll have access with. Even the old versions of firefox.  If you have 7 you may do okay. But like xp you’ll be left behind.

Then you need a newer more powerful computer so you can run Windows 7 or 10

or whatever you want to run.  You can't run any version of Firefox later

than 51.x with XP.

fortunately,

most websites that i use, they are not firefox version dependent.

and i could use them even with firefox 3.5!

but i had a problem in using legacy text or web pages in persian that

firefox did not recognize encoding.

and one of my friends told me that she can opens such files with

firefox quantum properly.

i believe that this feature is the most important changes in firefox

quantum that i really need!

also, unfortunately, now, i only have windows xp,

and i forced to uninstall seven

because of more and more overheating my laptop,

and slowness when navigating using nvda even in computer and documents!
