Hi all,

So I have this Windows computer, which currently runs the NVDA screen-reader and my question is, how do I start NVDA before and after signing in to my computer during start-up? Is there a setting that I need to adjust?

Would appreciate any responses.
All the best,
Ayub

To have NVDA automatically start during signin, press insert N to go into the NVDA menu. select settings and press enter. Once in settings, you'll be in the general section. in the general section, press tab until you find the option that reads something like: "Automatically start NVDA after signing in," and press space to check it. Once checked, press tab until you hear NVDA say apply, then press space to activate, then press enter to save the changes. then, press insert N to open the NVDA menu again, and press down errow until you hear NVDA say: "save configuration," and press enter to save the configuration. you can also press insert plus control plus C to save the settings. HTH.
