I sometimes happen to encounter it, so I would usually repeat an
action so that it does not fail for the second time. If it is not
working for you, I activate the focus mode, then I tab to the
desired link, and then I press enter, so that I activate the link.
If it is to no avail, I play with different browsers. I also make
sure whether a web page is maximized, so that NVDA is successful
in communicating with it.

i use only mozilla firefox. when i press insert+f7 i see the list of links. use only up or down arrow key to find my desire or i press the first letter of it. then, press enter to activate it. this method always works for me without problem. God bless you and i hope that my comment helps you.

Hi
Try the following if not done already
When the browser is open use the NVDA key + letter V Make sure you are in the webpage first.
you should hear nvda say use screen layout on, if it is on turn it off with that same key combo.
This will put both the line and link on the same line where the other when on will have the text on one line and the link on another. Usually in that case you have to tab to the link. any how give that a whirl. any how when i do also bring up the elements list with nvda key + f7, i usually press the letter for the link i want until i get to it then simpley press the enter link and i am there.

about using screen layout, you can deactivate it forever in preferences and brows mode. uncheck use screen layout when supported.

However you turn it off, it will remain off if you
save the settings or use the default setting of having NVDA save the settings on
exit. All settings changes done through NVDA short cut commands can be
made permanent in the same way as when made in the menus and dialogs. It's
the same change however it's made. Saving the settings will make it
permanent in either case.

I should note this issue occurs only with Internet explorer 11 and I tested with the exact search engine in Firefox the same search and NVDA behaved as I expected. I landed on the link hit enter it opened. This wasn’t the case when using Internet Explorer. Again the search engine and search were the exact same.

There is another way, but it is slower. When you are near the link, use control plus right or left arrow until you hear link then press enter. I find this works all the time, but it is slower then some of the other methods.

What browser are you using and would you please
send the address of a web page where you have this problem? The problem
may be one where the web page doesn't align properly when using the links
list. In other words, you may appear to be on a link but something on the
page is causing the links list not to align properly. This doesn't appear
to be a problem on a lot of web pages. If that is correct and only certain
pages are affected, please send the address of one such page so others can test
and see if they can reproduce the problem. And, as I asked earlier, please
tell us which browser you are using.

This sort of issue used to happen sometimes in IE8 on the old xp windows update links. They either worked but never were noticed as links, or some said link but never worked.
