But, after reverting back to the previous version of NVDA, this never
occurs, not once.

Hi Anthony,
Did it fail with an error or because the file was corrupt (didn't download properly)?
You can redownload it from: https://www.nvaccess.org/download/ (select "Skip donation this time" unless you want to make a donation, and you don't need to enter an email address).
Otherwise, a couple of reasons it might start installing and then fail: - Windows displays a User Account Control dialog - a dialog that appears in front of everything else which you need to respond to by pressing "Yes" for the install to continue - sometimes it appears behind everything else and you need to alt+tab to it. If you don't respond within 30 seconds or so, it will automatically fail.
- If you have "Controlled Folder Access" turned on in Windows 10, it will install, but it will fail to create the desktop shortcut and so show a failure error.
Otherwise, if you keep encountering it, if you could give me more information, I'd be interested in trying to get to the bottom of it.
Regards
Quentin.

Hi Anthony,
What mistake did you do during the installation?
If you did something like told it to install to a write only drive like a CD drive, you should simply be able to re-run the installer and install correctly.
I may have misunderstood you though.
