[nabs-l] NVDA lag issues

[Steve Jacobson]

Meaghan,

I don't know if these suggestions will help, but here they are.  First,
Windows 10 does some checking and downloading that sometimes is initiated
when it starts up.  You might try rebooting your computer as you have
already done, but then just waiting ten minutes or so before starting
serious testing.  I am not saying you always need to do that, although
waiting a minute or two after booting is not a bad practice.  Windows
Defender also scans your system periodically and that can have an effect.  

The second thing I would suggest is to try a different speech engine in case
the speech you are using is being affected by something.  

A third suggestion is to try closing NVDA and starting Narrator when you
have a problem to see if Narrator is affected.  If Narrator is running all
right, that points a finger at NVDA.  If you have any other screen readers,
check performance out with them as well.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Subject: [nabs-l] NVDA lag issues

Hey everyone, 

I use NVDA in my office to run accessibility tests on a program we're
building and for the last week my colleague and I have been having major
lagging issues with NVDA. I don't see any updates available but we're both
running NVDA on Windows 10 on PCs with 8GB RAM and spend half our days
re-booting from a cold start just to get the screen talking again. I'm not a
regular NVDA user otherwise and I'm wondering if any daily users are
experiencing similar problems? Any tips would be greatly appreciated since
it's slowing our progress. 

Thanks,

Meaghan
