starting automatically

I'm using NVDA 2017.3, but the user guide says 2017.1.  Updating didn't seem to update the user guide.
 
In the Preferences, general menu dialog, there is no automatic startup checkbox as described in the manual.  How can I get NVDA to start up when windows comes up?
 
Thanks, anybody.

My mistake.  I thought I updated but the "about" button tells me I'm still in version 1.  I'll try the update again.

OK, Well, sorry for all this.  I got 2017.3 and now the start automatically boxes are there.  Sure wish it hadn't taken away my addons and configguration.  But all is well now.  And thanks anyway.

Hi Howard,


Go to the NVDA menu and select the preferences sub-menu, and select general.  A dialog box will open, tab to the check box to automatically start NVDA after I log on to windows and hit space on it.  Then tab to the OK button, hit space on that, and that should do it.

Hi


That is weird if it is the installer version it would be there. It would be a good idea as well after you have checked that box also do the one for windows log on screen. there is also a button where it can be copied to that section.


If you had a portable version of nvda and run a shortcut to it if you looked under the same section in general settings it would not have the part to start when windows does.
