NVDA doesn't start after updating to Version 2023.03.29

I plan to update this issue with information from the log later, but wanted to open it since yt may be affecting others. I'm running NVDA 2023.3.4.

Interesting. I can't think of a situation where the screen reader itself would have trouble starting after installing the addon, and haven't run into this myself, but definitely sounds like something I need to fix before an official release. Looking forward to seeing the log output.

Here is the log generated with a new copy of NVDA and just this add-on. For context, this is the ARM version of Windows 11.

another interesting fact. I updated to NVDA 2024.1 and enabled the add-on overriding compatibility. It didn't crash, however, generated the following warnings an errors.

Original error was: No module named 'numpy.core._multiarray_umath'

if I try to use the face detection feature, I get the following error:

This issue should be fixed with the latest release (version 2024.04.14). Feel free to give that a try.

This is working well for me. Thank you so much for the improvements.
