Hello all.

When i go to to windows settings and then to accounts and then to sign
in options and press enter or space, i hear "sign in options" and then
NVDA remains silent. Up arrow, down arrow, left, right, tab, doesn't matter.

I can go to another window and NVDA talks again. I can also close the
settings with alt+f4.

I am running Windows 11 with NVDA Version 2026.1.1 (2026.1.1.55980)

I am looking forward to your answers.

Sincerely

yours

Daniel

Is it possible you are getting UAC prompt?

Negative.

I was pressing the necessary key assuming the same but no change at all.

Sincerely

Can you try going to the settings again? I just tried, and the first time I went to that screen, the settings froze - visually there was a cog in the middle of the screen, but nothing happened - and there was nothing for NVDA to read. When I closed it, and tried again it did work and I could read it.

Kind regards

Quentin
