NVDA 2026.1.1 Released

[NVDA Screen Reader Discussion]

NV Access is pleased to announce that version 2026.1.1 of NVDA, the free screen reader for Microsoft Windows, is now available for download.
We encourage all users to upgrade to this version.

Highlights

This is a patch release to fix security issues.
A bug fix is also included for an issue introduced in 2026.1 with how ctrl+f is handled in File Explorer.
A change introduced in 2026.1 with how NVDA handles connection issues with Remote Access was removed.

Important Note:

Please note, after updating any software, it is a good idea to restart the computer.
Restart by going to the Shutdown dialog, selecting "restart" and pressing ENTER.
Updating software can change files which are in use.
This can lead to instability and strange behaviour which is resolved by rebooting.
This is the first thing to try if you do notice anything odd after updating.

This explains the  "Update to the Update." Not sure why the NV Access message about the updating patch was so delayed.
