coscell@...
 

Hi,

After uninstall MS office, my NVDA doesn't read context menu.
Why and how to fix this?

Press NVDA+n, t, r, enter. That's with an English keyboard setup, on English language NVDA.
Press Okay when prompted, and authenticate the Windows permission dialog which appears.
Press OK again when the completion Window comes up.

Did you restart after running the com registration tool?

 

If not, then do so!

Still no effect. I must to re-install office or reset windows to fix it.

What version of NVDA and Windows?

Have you tried running NVDA with add-ons disabled?

Also, I know it seems silly, but try the COM Registration Fix tool again. I know of at least one case where a user reported that it didn't fix a problem it should have during the first run, but did after being run again. In theory that shouldn't be true, but that's what he reported.

Others have already covered the items in #1 on this list, but I'm putting it here for completeness.  There is a pretty standard succession of things to try when any issue comes up, in order, depending on whether NVDA is involved or not.  If it's not, then skipping item #1 is fine.

1. The Most Basic Troubleshooting Steps for Suspected NVDA Issues
2. Using SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management) to Repair Windows 8 & 10
[Preferably before doing #3 and absolutely before doing #4, taking a full user data backup and a full system image backup is required.]
3. Doing a Windows 10 Repair Install or Feature Update Using the Windows 10 ISO file
4. Doing a Completely Clean (Re)install of Windows 10 Using Media Creation Tool to Fetch the Win10 ISO File
    (and since you will have already fetched the ISO file for step 3, you can begin in the instructions at the point immediately after it's been downloaded, or you can instead
     follow these instructions: Doing a Completely Clean (Re)install of Windows 10 Using Media Creation Tool to Create Bootable Win10 Install Media on a USB Thumb Drive)

Have you tried reinstalling your NVDA add-ons? There have ben a few updates in the past weeks and you may have corrupted on. I had that happen on 2003.

What is the result after trying each, IN ORDER?  And for restarting the computer definitely use Restart, not Shutdown, because if Fast Startup is enabled a shutdown is not really a complete shutdown.

If those don't work, then an uninstall and reinstall of NVDA would be what I'd try next.

Again, no effect with all you said.
The log message had said it is missing some dll.
Do you know which one?

No.  But you show no indication of having uninstalled/reinstalled NVDA.  Have you?

You are not going to get additional help from me until and unless you start reporting on each and every step you've taken, and stopping after each to report the result. 

This grasping at straws, which is what you're doing, and zig-zagging is not helpful, to anyone, least of all you.

I've remove nvda and re-install the newest alpha-22295,49a85788.
I still cannot read context menu.

Did you run the registration tool again, as was suggested? If that doesn't work, do you have system restore points? Runnning a restore point from before you uninstalled Office will likely correct whatever problem the uninstallation caused. Then, regardless of wheteher Office programs work or not, leave them installed.

I would suggest not using the alpha.  Try installing 2020.4 and see if the issue persists.  Report back on if it does/does not.

Did you run SFC and DISM as Brian explained? Because it is sounding more and more like a Windows problem. But still run the COM Reg Fix Tool a second time.

It may be a good idea to install a stable version rather than using alphas, until the issue has been resolved

In fact, this problem plagues many NVDA users, not only uninstalling Office, even if you uninstall Mathplayer, it will also cause this to happen.
I think the Com registration repair tool is not reliable. This requires improvement by NVAccess. The following may help you:
