loss of speech with latest Next build
I have as well. It is even more noticeable when switching/closing between Edge and Mail, or during an error in NVDA that may be related to DOM access. NVDA appears to hang and then reset a while later

NVDA silence
It seems like the silence may happen when switching between Edge and Mail or after using Mail for a while. This is in build 16251, with a longer pause than before. John

Problem with Edge
This is not an MVDA problem. The Administrator Account is limited on 10. Just create a Microsoft Account set it to administrator, or a local account with admin priviledges.

Running old versions is certainly not optimal. Release versions of Windows 10, such as creator update are better. The latest snapshot still has some silence pauses after first running up Mail or Edge

Windows 10 Creator's update and notifications
Converting from some older versions of Windows does take longer. Then there are hangs like on preview builds that never install or try to over and over.

Windows mail
In the Mail update I am using, Insert+Space allows you to arrow across lines to read or type in a new message. Not ideal. HTML messages do not read much at all though. John
