windows server inside vm ware player

[StarTrekCafe]

hi. when using nvda, inside v mware player for my networking course last year and using windows server 2012 r2 and 2019 essentials. the audio service would not enable using the keyboard and had to either get sighted help from my trainer or disability answer desk. so is there going to be a feature for nvda, to then if i use it and then install say windows server 2022 stable release when it comes out or 2019 which is current version, wish nvda would then enable the audio and turn on audio and then give me speech when i click on the setup for windows server. thanks.

Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?

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

If addons are disabled, is your problem still occuring?

Did you try to run the COM registry fixing tool in NVDA menu / tools?

Highly unlikely for servers, as the trend is remote management, not a local console login.

This issue is not specific enough to be actionable and also it is not an NVDA problem. You need to install either with Narrator for Server 2019 or using TWPE / unattended install for earlier versions and then enable audio service after installation.
