Opening PDF files is a completely different issue.
The problem I'm encountering is in File Explorer, but not all media.
I've only encountered the problem with SD cards in my built-in card
reader. File Explorer works as expected for my local SSD as well as my
external USB drive and my NAS drives.
Just today, I slipped an SD card into my card reader and experienced the
same problem. In fact, even arrowing to another folder caused the delay.
This makes navigating through the file structure a very slow process.
I hope someone can offer a remedy for this problem.
Thanks,
Jeff

I have this same problem with JAWS, including JAWS 14. I notice it more
when I am using IE or my antivirus is checking for updates, as well as
opening PDF documents, which it has always done.

I'm more suspicious that it's just JAWS. Ever since JAWS 17, there has
been
a "pause" effect most often occurring when opening a PDF document, and
opening Outlook. I also noticed it pausing when launching ResearchIt,
or the
JAWS find on a web page. Always around 15 to 20 seconds of silence before
speech returns. Still happens with JAWS 2018, and I'm unhappy to hear
that
it seems to also happen with your Windows 10. I'm still running Windows 7
32-bit on a Dell Latitude. This never happened with JAWS 16 or earlier.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Temporary loss of speech
I temporarily lose speech often when accessing an SD card in my built-in
card reader. Here's what happens.
When I insert my SD card into the card reader, most times I lose speech
for about 20 seconds and each time I take some action the same thing
happens. For example, I must wait about 20 seconds or so after inserting
the card before I can arrow up and down to locate a folder. Once I get
speech, I can arrow up and down fine, but as soon as I enter on a folder
name to open the folder, I lose speech again for about 20 seconds. The
same thing happens when I press the applications key to bring up the
context menu. I must wait the 20 seconds or so before I can arrow
through the menu.
I'm running JAWS 2018 on Windows 10 version 1703, although this same
problem occurred on JAWS 18 on this computer. This only happens with SD
cards and not absolutely every time, but most times. Accessing the local
SSD, external USB drives and network drives all behave as they should.
I suspect this might be an issue with some setting in Windows 10, but I
have no idea what setting or where to look for it. And perhaps it's
something altogether different. I'm open to all suggestions.
Thanks,
Jeff
