Hello! It just happened for me in Win 7 when starting Chrome. I got no feedback so I pressed NVDA+F1 to log information about the current navigator object, which should be tracking focus. Here is what it says: INFO - globalCommands.GlobalCommands.script_navigatorObject_devInfo (09:43:25.430): Developer info for navigator object: name: None role: ROLE_UNKNOWN states: isFocusable: False hasFocus: False Python object: <NVDAObjects.IAccessible.IAccessible object at 0x051DA850> Python class mro: (<class 'NVDAObjects.IAccessible.IAccessible'>, <class 'NVDAObjects.window.Window'>, <class 'NVDAObjects.NVDAObject'>, <class 'baseObject.ScriptableObject'>, <class 'baseObject.AutoPropertyObject'>, <type 'object'>) description: None location: None value: None appModule: <'appModuleHandler' (appName u'chrome', process ID 4728) at address 51da550> appModule.productName: u'Google Chrome' appModule.productVersion: u'61.0.3163.79' TextInfo: <class 'NVDAObjects.NVDAObjectTextInfo'> windowHandle: 328820 windowClassName: u'Chrome_WidgetWin_1' windowControlID: 0 windowStyle: 382664704 windowThreadID: 4580 windowText: u'Neuer Tab - Google Chrome' displayText: exception: 'NoneType' object is not iterable IAccessibleObject: <POINTER(IAccessible) ptr=0x80f2f88 at 51ba260> IAccessibleChildID: -1 IAccessible event parameters: windowHandle=328820, objectID=-4, childID=-1 IAccessible accName: exception: (-2147024809, 'Falscher Parameter.', (None, None, None, 0, None)) IAccessible accRole: exception: (-2147024809, 'Falscher Parameter.', (None, None, None, 0, None)) IAccessible accState: exception: (-2147024809, 'Falscher Parameter.', (None, None, None, 0, None)) IAccessible accDescription: exception: (-2147024809, 'Falscher Parameter.', (None, None, None, 0, None)) IAccessible accValue: exception: (-2147024809, 'Falscher Parameter.', (None, None, None, 0, None))
So the navigator object, although configured to track focus, is on something which isn't even focusable. Hope this helps in investigating. Kind regards, Felix

I get to system tray hit n hit app key and am able to quit nvda then

It happens a lot more than I'd like enough that I am annoyed by it not
enough for me to downgrade, it did this a lot in aniversary win10, less
in creaters but still does it if I don't watch it.
Its happened ever since 16.4 or was it 17.1.
Its been round a while.
The only reason I don't put it out is that it happens hardly enough to
be a show stopper but does happen enough that I am carefull.

I haven't tested this in Windows 7. I havbe a
Windows 7 machine but I seldom use it on line, using it instead as a recording
machine with my stereo, TV radio, and other such uses. I go online with it
on occasion but not regularly.
In Windows XP, when I launch firefox or Chrome, it
either takes a long time for NVDA to move to the browser wwindow, or I may have
to go to the desktop and then alt tab around to get NVDA to be aware of the
Window. Often, if I just tab around, it is unaware of the window.
It sounds as though this, or a similar problem, or
at least a problem with similar symptoms, is seen in later versions of
Windows. In most programs, I don't have this problem but it isn't just
browsers. Tapin Radio is another program with similar
behavior.

Hi!
Yes, that's what I would also consider the natural response. For me,
unfortunately, it doesn't always see those focus changes in the first
place.
I'll do some more testing with different timing constellations, for
example, I'll wait until hard drive activity is very low before trying again.
Maybe there's a pattern.
Any ideas, anyone, if it's Windows not raising the events, or NVDA failing
to process them? Is there a way to find out easily?

You mean, after opening the window, when you wait for, say, five minutes, it will indeed start reading by itself at some point? Greetings, Felix

If you mean can you launch a piece of software and nvda seems not to notice, then yes, and it also happens with other screenreaders. If you have auto say all on for example Firefox often on its first opening will not be apparently in focus will not read the page, but anything that affects the display, say hitting alt or in your case going to the address bar, seems to wake it up. I suspect that nvda does not see the page completed signal or its not sent.
Hard to say, but yes it does happen and the speed of the machine seems to be no indication of when it will or will not work..
For example a program called Belarc advisor looks at your computer and then launches the default browser to see the result. It nearly always seems to not have the browser in the foreground when it finishes, even though its just launched it.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the following phenomenon.
Soon after starting Windows, I launch a program, let's say Chrome, and get
no feedback whatsoever about it. In particular, the Chrome window title is
not announced, and neither is the address bar. To test what NVDA is seeing,
I press NVDA+t, and it says "Explorer." However, maintaining the hypothesis
that Chrome indeed has focus, I type a web address and press enter, and
indeed the site opens in Chrome and is read properly by NVDA.
So, a new window became active, and keyboard focus was on a specific
control within this window, but NVDA did not detect this. The NVDA log
shows no irregularities.
Any idea what might be going on and how the effect could be prevented? Is
it a known fact that Windows sometimes does not raise such important
events? Or might there be a timing issue in which NVDA is temporarily
overloaded and thus fails to track them? Would that not generate log
entries?
Kind regards,
Felix

Which version of Windows are you using? And from the way you've written, I assume Chrome is just an example - it also happens if you open NotePad or Word or Calculator or anything else?
