Thanks Gale. In response to your points: I raised my issue here because my problem is with basic software functionality and not about using the app as a blind person. I am running windows 10 and update daily (see screenshot for version/build). I had previously run Audacity without event on my old PC...

Now I can open .wav files (both within Audacity and from file explorer). However, ctrl+w still causes Audacity to cr...
