In Windows 10 version 1709, Microsoft [added support for its UI Automation API to the console https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/whats-new-in-windows-console-in-windows-10-fall-creators-update/], bringing vastly improved performance and stability for screen readers that support it.
In situations where UI Automation is unavailable or known to result in an inferior user experience, NVDA's legacy console support is available as a fallback.
The Windows Console support combo box has three options:
- Automatic: Uses UI Automation in consoles on Windows 10 version 1803 and later. This option is recommended and set by default.
- Automatic: Uses UI Automation in consoles on Windows 10 version 1809 and later. This option is recommended and set by default.
- Prefer UIA: Uses UI Automation in consoles if available, even on Windows versions with incomplete or buggy implementations. While this limited functionality may be useful (and even sufficient for your usage), use of this option is entirely at your own risk and no support for it will be provided.
- Legacy: UI Automation in the Windows Console will be completely disabled, so the legacy fallback will always be used.

==== Use the new typed character support in legacy Windows consoles when available ====[AdvancedSettingsKeyboardSupportInLegacy]
This option enables an alternative method for detecting typed characters in legacy Windows consoles.
While it improves performance and prevents some console output from being spelled out, it may be incompatible with some terminal programs.
This feature is available and enabled by default on Windows 10 versions 1607, 1703 and 1709 as well as on newer Windows 10 releases when UI Automation is unavailable or disabled.
This feature is available and enabled by default on Windows 10 versions 1607, 1703, 1709 and 1803 as well as on newer Windows 10 releases when UI Automation is unavailable or disabled.
Warning: with this option enabled, typed characters that do not appear onscreen, such as passwords, will not be suppressed.
In untrusted environments, you may temporarily disable [speak typed characters #KeyboardSettingsSpeakTypedCharacters] and [speak typed words #KeyboardSettingsSpeakTypedWords] when entering passwords.
