Other questions

Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?

Yes but times vary

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

Yes it functions perfectly in the latest stable 2021.1.

If add-ons are disabled, is your problem still occurring?

Yes as far as I can tell though the fault can be a very long time coming.

Does the issue still occur after you run the COM Registration Fixing Tool in NVDA's tools menu?

Yes
