NVDA rarely fails to open at the Windows login screen

[haruncetinkaya306]

Steps to reproduce:

Press the power button, wait for Windows to start. In rare cases, NVDA will not start even though it is set to start at the Windows login screen.

Actual behavior:

Windows starts, NVDA is set to start here, Windows starts properly but NVDA does not start.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should start at the Windows login screen, which it does most of the time.

Other questions

Does the problem persist after restarting your computer?

When the problem occurs varies, but restarting certainly does not fix the problem, which is rare.

Have you tried other versions of NVDA? If so, please report their behavior.

I have experienced this error with previous versions as well.

If the NVDA plugins are disabled, does your problem persist?

I am not using any plugins.

Does the problem persist after running the COM Registry Fix Tool from NVDA's tools menu?

It doesn't work

I reproduced this issue with issue #17453, there I was able to attach the logs correctly.
