Hi Brian, I installed the latest alpha build, and indeed it works beautifully with Outlook. Thank you so much for the suggestion. And also the latest alpha seemed to have resolved my issue with slow keystrokes in Google Chrome, so maybe these two problems were caused by the same underlying reason.

Is it any better if you temporarily install the alpha build from the snapshots page? There do seem to have been a number of problems with Outlook for most screenreaders lately, probably due to the changing face of Outlook itself. Myself, I find it very much a slow bit of software, but I'm not running 10,
and dread the day when I need to rely on it over my old faithful Outlook Express hack for windows 7. Brian

Hello all, I am trying to set up a new laptop for my work, and I encountered a few problems with Outlook. One of the problems is that NVDA reacts to keystrokes with a delay. For example, in the list of messages when I press up or down, I only hear NVDA speaks the next/previous message after a second. I am aware of preview pane and I have disabled it, so that's not an issue. I have also disabled preview of messages directly in the messages list. Another problem is that occasionally the entire Outlook app enters a weird state where I cannot read anything - standard navigations command don't work. Up/Down, Tab or F6 does nothing. However, if I restart NVDA, then it's working again. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how to fix it?
I tried narrator and it works much better - at least it responds to my keystrokes almost instantly.
I'm running latest NVDA, latest Windows 10 and latest Outlook. I disabled all the add-ons. This is a brand new laptop. It's got plenty of CPU and memory, so this is not a hardware issue.
