Need help asap.
So my NVDA doesn't wanna speak other than in login or user control dialogs. Reinstalls didn't help, and of course restarts arn't the magical quick fix. :p. At the same time, wifi doesn't appear to work. Sometimes it barely works, and I thought it was a tailscale issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case now. It only worked the first time when quitting processes. I should point out that it's a pc issue, not an internet itself issue as it works just as it should anywhere else, for example, this work laptop I'm posting on now.
What kinda messed up conbination is this?
The wifi thing started yesterday in the morning, by the way. Only today nvda thought it wanted to just quit working.

Oh, oops! Did you install all Windows updates? Did you try a hard reset, which is basically hold the power button until the laptop turns off? Also, apparently microsoft's vibe coding, broke the login screen, and not sure if they fixed that. Other than that, I am considering saying goodbye to Windows. And if you can't solve that, maybe it's time for new windows re-install, or something with the WI-FI card is wrong, but if not that, check for driver updates. What brand are you using?

@Winter blue tardis @Marc Hoffmann My guess is that NVDA configuration is somewhat messed up. My recommendation would be:

  • using ctrl+windows+enter to enable narrator for performing this.
  • Once narrator is working press windows+r to bring up a run dialog.
  • Into that run dialog type in "%appdata%\nvda" without the quotes and press the enter key to activate.
  • NVDA folder should be opened in the windows explorer. Use arrow keys to navigate and find nvda.ini configuration file.
  • If you really wish to proceed hit F2 and rename this file for example to nvda-backup.ini and confirm the rename operation by pressing the enter key.
  • Finally restart NVDA either by pressing ctrl+alt+n on the keyboard or navigate to the desktop, find the NVDA icon and activate it with the enter key.
  • NVDA should start with default settings. if it's working it's likelly there are some conflicting settings or addons in your config. If it's not you can revert this process and try something else.

Your WI-FI problem is as persistent as my terminal killing the battery. I hope the WI-FI stuff gets fixed. If the computer is too new, and your router is not, that could also be an issue. I had that. It was no fun. I forced my family to get a newer router. I like that config suggestion, I have a computer that needs something like that. Mainly for work, but also because I have some addons that may or may not be changing stuff around.
