Are you referring to the opening xylophone tones, followed by, "Loading NVDA, please wait."?
If so, open NVDA Settings, General Tab (the one that opens by default) and check the checkbox for Play sounds when starting or exiting NVDA. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

On that one I have no idea, as I've never had NVDA show/say anything about modifier keys and/or display on startup. There are, however, checkboxes for Automatically start NVDA when I log in to Windows and Use NVDA on the Windows Login screen in the General tab. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Hi Larry
Are you referring to the welcome dialogue when you first install nvda to your computer? it can be found under the help section of nvda then look for welcome dialogue press the enter key on that and that startup dialogue screen you get when nvda is installed will come up.
Hope it helps.

I see no setting that will do this. Someone may know of one. But this is important.

While you can often reverse such do not show this again check boxes with a setting, you can't always and you should never tell a program not to show you something again unless you are absolutely sure you don't want it shown or unless you are absolutely sure you know how to reverse it. Just close whatever is being shown instead. You may save trouble and inconvenience by not activating such check boxes without real thought. Gene

From what's gone before, I'm guessing it's this entry, first under the [general] section, which I've copied out of my NVDA.ini file: [general]
showWelcomeDialogAtStartup = False
Obviously, it's turned off for me. And I have actually never seen it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

I saw a message from another list member and opened the dialog from the help menu. Tabbing through it, I found the check box. If you check it again and activate the ok button, the dialog will again be shown when you run the program.

You can't assume such solutions will be available in ;programs, however. Gene

I know the screen they are talking about. it is the use modifier key check boxes, keyboard layout and the OK button? I do know how how to get that back once you uncheck the box to not show it again, maybe someone knows? -- Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website.

Hi Larry,
I don't know why this is, but actually the Welcome screen that first loads when you first install NVDA setting is under help. Press NVDA + N (insert + N) for the NVDA menu. Then press h for help. Then move down to Welcome. You will get the reading of the welcome screen menu that loads when you first run NVDA. On that page is a check box to 'show this welcome screen every time NVDA starts' check box. Check this and every time NVDA start, this welcome screen will be displayed.

Hi Open the NVDA menu, press h to open the Help sub-menu then l to open the Welocome dialog. The dialog contains a check boxc which controls whether NVDA always opens with this dialog or not.

If you want the welcome screen back, Open NVDA help/Welcome
dialog. There is a check box there to show it every time.
