Hello, I have had exactly the same problem. I haven’t found a solution in fact, yesterday I used bootcamp to remove the windows partition and start again. This time I put NVDA on. Because I did make the mistake of using 2018 and not sure if I was or not licensed to use that version.
Because I struggled to log into my Windows partition I lost speech. Using Seeing AI I could tell I was on a change password screen. A sighted friend got me to the desktop. He had to remove the tick to mute the audio. Upon reboot the audio was muted again. I strongly suspect it was jaws muting the audio, what a mess. I will check to see what version of jaws cane with my El Braille summer of last year and try again. When I’ve got a few more hours of my life I don’t mind waisting. Like you twice or three times I got the successful registration screen. I think I did it 3 times. So haven’t got a clue whether I have any activations or not. Please report to the list if you find the solution. I guess I should report it as a bug. But life is just too short. Gena Braille is a reading and writing language that all blind people should learn to use.
