what class of sd cards are you using.
if not class 10, they can be very slow to access.

It's not a lack of RAM. I have plenty. And the app is File Explorer which
behaves normally accessing all other drives. The problem is only with the
SD card.

I have created shortcut keys for loading Jaws and other reading software.
During that temporary silence, using the shortcut key for Jaws
(CONTROL+ALT+J) doesn't work for restarting jaws. This is a bit out of
my
league but could it have something to do with not enough RAM in the
system?
If so, that would be a surprise to me. My new desktop at work has 18 gig
of
RAM. Yet, it still goes silent temporarily when loading certain on-line
packages.

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
