NVDA 2026.3 Beta 5 is now available for testing!

https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2026-3beta5/

Changes in Beta 5:

• Updates to translations
• Bug fix for NVDA failing to start on Windows 10 versions older than 1903

(And just a reminder, since that’s short & I have room - even if you are using NVDA in English on Windows 11, it’s still worth checking as, for instance, in fixing failing to start on older systems, what if we broke starting on newer systems? Don’t think we did, but always worth trying the new beta)
