Steps to reproduce:
In PowerPoint you can "hide" a slide so it is not shown when running a slideshow but still appears when editing.
. To do this, choose a slide to hide in a presentation and press alt+s, h.
1) Create a slideshow with three slides. Imaginatively add the title "Un", "Deux" and "Trois" (I'll let you decide which order to put them). 2) Press page up to move to the middle slide. 3) Press SHIFT+F6 to move to the thumbnails view, open the context menu and up arrow twice to "Hide slide (Not checked)". 4) Press ENTER to hide the slide. Visually the thumbnail of the slide now appears slightly greyed out, although this is purely a visual effect - it still takes focus etc. 5) Use Page up and page down to move between the slides. Press.
Steps 3 and 4 above can also be done with alt+s, h to activate directly, or alt+s, then tab to "hide" and enter.
Actual behavior:
When navigating between slides with page up / page down, (or arrows while on thumbnails), no indication is given that a particular slide is hidden.
(NVDA reports Slide 2, Deux, 2 of 3.)
Expected behavior:
It would be useful for NVDA to report, "Slide 2, Deux, Hidden, 2 of 3"

Other questions
Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?
Yes
Have you tried any other versions of NVDA? If so, please report their behaviors.
Yes, portable 2019.2.1 and issue is the same.
If addons are disabled, is your problem still occuring?
Yes
Did you try to run the COM registry fixing tool in NVDA menu / tools?
No, but it's not an NVDA "bug", it's just something we don't report but would be useful to.
Finally, one workaround in the meantime, you can move to either the context menu or ribbon item for "Hide slide" to confirm the current status of a slide.
Press shift+f6 to move to the thumbnail view, and press the context menu then up arrow to "Hide Slide".
Or, Press ALT+S, then tab to "Hide slide".
Visually, it is obvious from the thumbnail that a slide is hidden, even when on other nearby slides, so it would be consistent with this knowledge being "automatically" presented to the user for this to be reported while navigating between slides.
