Well, I thought, as I use BRLTTY in the Cygwin environment to use SSH, I thought a compiled version in that environment was the most memory efficient.

Yes, I tried that, but it didn't help. Also I'd like to mention that I'm using Windows 10, 64 bit. Cytwin is 64 bit as well. > But again, getting the exact error message would help a *lot* to know > which kind of the above guess would be closest to the actual issue. Actually I solved my situation by installing the Handy Tech universal braille display driver in Windows, and set it to choose port automatically. Then NVDA started properly without BRLTTY.
