Hi all.


I'll keep it short, because this topic is probably off topic but i really need help with this.


How do i access windoes messages dropping in? Messages like warnings or if windows wants me to react on something?


Thank you and my apologies for the off topic.


Daniel

What version of Windows are you running? It is windows key +a for Windows 10. for 11, I believe it is windows key +n.

Hi.
If you are not hearing notifications as they pop up, press NVDA+control+o and make sure "Report notifications" is checked.

Hi Chris.


There are two buttons regarding messages. Do you mean the first or the second. The first was unchecked and the second was checked.

I don't know what you are seeing but you aren't looking in the right place.  Control NVDA key o opens the object presentation dialog. If you open it and tab one time, you will find a check box.  Check and uncheck it with the space bar and then press enter.

This setting is very likely already checked, as you want it to be. The default is checked.

Hi gene. Yes, the checkbox you mean after hitting tab once is checked. But if you go back with shift+tab there is one more checkbox, related to messages. For me it looks a bit the same. I am not sure how to handle that one. It is unchecked by default.

If you go back, there is report tool tips, which has nothing to do with notifications.  Tool tips are bits of information that are displayed that give extra information about some things when they are selected.  For example, on the desktop, if you move to This Computer and report tool tips are checked, you will hear something like shows the disk drives and hardware connected to this computer after you hear this computer spoken.

Hi Gene. Ah these are tooltips. I never really knew about them. Probably, because it always had been unchecked. But ok. Now i know, what i can play around with and if something changes to negative i know, why. :-)


Thank you for your help and really sorry for the OT.

It started out as off topic but it then became on topic because it is discussing settings in NVDA.

NVDA should read these notifications when they appear. Press Windows+shift+v to access it if it's still on screen, or Windows+a to view them in the Action Center.
