"I've already got a situation where

the window appears every time I reboot my computer. This would not seem
browser related. When the ad window appears, it blocks part of my screen but
NVDA cannot find it so I can dismiss it. How can Iget NVDA to find it? Or is
there some other way to dismiss?

I have this problem as well.

Windows open at startup that are not in the systray or taskbar. Alt tab sometimes moves focus away.  Windows key+d to move to the desktop sometimes works too.

Some utilities just show up as windows on startup. I find I need to disable them from task manager.


This is not screen reader specific. The title and other info isn't presented to any screen reader in some cases.

How would I create a generally usable log if I wanted to report the problem?

I find that on the rare occasion I get these that very often hitting ESC closes them.

That being said, using an ad blocker such as uBlock Origin or similar, or a browser like Brave virtually eliminates these from ever being displayed to begin with.
