Hi,

Looks like Visual Studio is flooding the event queue (again). Note that after setting selective UIA event registration, you MUST restart NVDA for changes to take effect properly.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi,
I am a software developer and we use visual studio 2022 as our primary IDE. I find that when I’m navigating different screens and lists of items using NVDA there’s a substantial lag in speech output. When I turn off NVDA and switch on narrator, I find that everything is instantly responsive as would be expected. I’m curious what might be causing this noticeably poorer performance of NVDA compared to narrator in this app.

Doing some poking around, I came across the suggestion to enable selective UI automation for events, or something to that effect, in NVDA settings, so that is currently set to selective. I believe the other option is global, though I’m not in front of my computer right now. As far as I can tell, this isn’t making a difference. Are there any other adjustments I can make to either visual studio, Windows or NVDA itself to achieve performance more comparable to narrator? I much prefer NVDA overall but I’ve been switching to narrator for now because NVDA is frankly slowing me down .

Thanks!
Luke

Hi,

NVDA is incomprehensibly slow in VS 2022 with or without optional registration of UIA events.

Is there an issue for this? Also you cannot post binaries here, you would have to stick it in the cloud and send a link here.
I wonder if Microsoft are being a little naughty and hooking into their code directly, which other screenreaders are not aloud to do, also a better test would be to see if the Jaws demo is slow as well, I'd imagine.
I don't use it either. I have used an earlier version and did not notice much sluggishness, so it could be a Microsoft thing. I have no need to mess with it now.

I just recorded a little video – well, I say “video” but it’s really just an MP3 of the audio because that’s all that’s needed – better illustrating and walking through reproducing the issue and some of my thoughts. Hope this helps in diagnosis/troubleshooting! Thanks again.

Hi Brian,

I won’t wade into controversial waters here but let’s just say I wouldn’t be surprised if MS did something like that. Lol. As for the MP3 below, I selected the “copy link” option from my Dropbox iOS app and simply pasted it here so I’m not sure what you mean about a binary? When I pasted the same clipboard contents to a text message it appeared as a normal URL so maybe the email server did something to it? No clue there.
