So my question is: Is there a way to not start NVDA at login time? Or at least make it not load the addons?

NVDA seems to be working fine at the login screen where I need to enter the password, but that is probably because it doesn’t load addons at this time. Once I log in, I hear the four tones NVDA start sound and right after that my keyboard is pretty much dead. I know it’s my fault, I wrote some buggy addon code, but now I really want to revive my computer.

Thank you

Well if you have a portable nvda on you or can get one and maybe a
sightling to right click nvda icon for you and quit it or end it in task
manager then you can use that and then well run a system restore, or
just clear the mangled file that may work.

Thats probably the only thing I can suggest.

I have had this happen myself with some software I have always had this
happen with some users I have done work for.

I luckily had the system backed up and I was able to reformat and make
the issue go away.

I never really looked into fixing this when it happened to me once
before as after a good reformat it never came back but maybe I was lucky.

Hi all,

I somehow broke my NVDA by writing a buggy addon and now NVDA doesn’t work. Moreover it somehow prevents the other screenreaders (jaws, narrator) from running.

Thank you

If nvda runs on the login screen then you can bring up the nvda menu and change the way nvda starts or in your case not at all to get into windows

After the required changes save the settings and restart, then you should be good to go
