Sat down at my computer just now, which was switched on over night, and upon pressing a key #NVDA said: "Date updated to Nov 5". I've never heard an announcement like it, and have no idea where it came from.
#nvda

A quick search of the NVDA source tree suggests that it didn't come from NVDA itself. Maybe a misguided UIA notification that was recently added to Windows? I assume you're running Windows 11.

@matt No, this is Windows 10, and I haven't installed any updates recently.

Oh weird. I'm also still on Windows 10. Windows 10 is now the good old version of Windows that a lot of us really don't want to do a so-called upgrade from. Like Windows 7 and XP before it.

@James Scholes @Matt Campbell I am usually getting notifications like this on both windows and linux when the time is automagically adjusted as a result of daylight saving switch or when the timezone changes while traveling. Might this be similar?

@pvagner That was my first thought too, but I'm in a country that doesn't observe time changes anymore. Maybe just a Windows quirk. @matt
