(Updated with command line information from Leonard).
This is a minor inconsistency, but still worth recording:
With any version of NVDA running, pressing control+alt+n restarts the installed copy of NVDA. That works fine.
If a desktop or start menu shortcut to NVDA is instead activated, or a copy of NVDA run from File Explorer, NVDA does not restart. NVDA does have a command line parameter -r to replace or quit the running version of NVDA and start this one (Thanks Leonard for reminding me of that!)
See https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html#CommandLineOptions for more information on the command line options.
I would like to then propose that we make the -r parameter implicit and adopt that behaviour by default, and perhaps in its place add a parameter to check and return a value if there is already a copy of NVDA running to enable both functionalities going forward.
