Hi Steve,


I am wondering about what settings you have for the File Explorer.  I
have noticed that with some settings in Windows/file explorer since
Windows 7, that it doesn't interface well with screen readers.  In
particular, if you have under the view menu extra large icons or grid or
something other than list or details checked, you will have problems.
First check the view menu to see that either list or details is checked.


Also make sure that everything under the group by sub menu is
unchecked.  If anything is checked under that menu, it can result in
sluggishness and odd behavior.


Also under the graphics options sub menu there are sub menus. Under the
panel options only the display scaling is checked. Under the resolution
sub menu 1024 X 768 is checked. Under the rotaton sub menu, rotate to 0
degrees is checked.

Under the hotkeys and tray icons sub menu, they are both enabled.


Check out these settings and make them conform to the suggestions above
and see if that helps with your file explorer issues.

Yep, this pretty much mirrors my experience, although I can never get
NVDA to read the list now.

NVDA is pretty horrible with File Explorer under Windows 10, and it’s
got worse with this build.

All the best

I just close file explorer and reopen it when it starts acting funky.
either that, or I shut down NVDA and restart it. Alternatively, I can
sit here and stare at the computer for a few minutes, until it decides
to behave itself, which it does eventually do. It has to be an NVDA
thing, though, because it doesn't do this with System Access at all. I
have trouble alt tabbing between windows when it wants to act up, and
then I have trouble going through list items. It's like the cursor
doesn't want to move through them but it actually does; it's just NVDA
isn't reading me the items. I also find that if I have more than, say,
two or three windows open and I close one of them, it starts working
fine again. It's random, though, so I never know when it's going to
misbehave. It's not aggravating enough to make me switch screen
readers, though. I just figure it'll be fixed in a future update and
go with it.

So I wonder what is the determining factor then?

Hello,

I am running the latest version of NVDA on my HP laptop and I do
not have any issues using NVDA with file explorer. I am also using
the 1803 Windows update.

I’m assuming you haven’t tried it in the File Explorer app
then?  That’s the bug I was reporting.

I can't remember if I replied or not but lists are fine in the
explorer.exe app. I'm so far knock on wood not having any
issues as far as I can see, except for obs but that's probably
a broken app.

Hi,

I recently reported that Outlook message lists were not
reading for me.

It is in fact worse than that, lists in general don’t seem
to be reading.  For example, File Explorer in Windows 10
is completely silent for me now.

JAWS is reading lists quite happily.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

All the best

Steve
