I have to say that I agree that NVDA rarely crashes for me. It's incredibly stable and the addon store is quite an accomplishment.

Of course, the "my computer never crashes" section is a bit, meh <smile>.

@amir Everyone's mileage will vary - but crashes of NVDA itself are rare, as (in fairness to Microsoft) are crashes of Windows OS these days.

Yeah, but, come on, "never?" Really don't think so.

@amir The only time I've had NVDA crash in the last year or so has been when I've been specifically testing something someone has reported which makes NVDA crash. Many of the crashes I've seen reported have either been edge cases the majority of users wouldn't encounter, or caused by add-ons - which is not to say neither of those is important - but I think overall, NVDA is stable for most users is most situations

@amir I agree with NVAccess on this one. Yes, "never" is likely not technically true, but most people use "never" to actually mean "not often enough to register with me as a problem". Ever since Firefox was updated to fix the freezing problem, I've only had NVDA freeze or crash when I spammed it with text in cmd due to a bad script, and there are tickets on that already. Outside of that, I've had good stability.
