Yes, it is horrible, I see it almost daily! Jaws 16 and IE 11 and Windows 7 here, the whole internet experience has slowed down, lots of pages hang, sometimes one has to wait for over a minute to get it to load, sometimes it is blank and refresh will help, and it can be a page one has visited many times. I find myself cursing the slowness and my speed seems to be normal when tested. I truly dislike having to wait for several minutes to move from one spot to another, especially when trying to make a purchase. I had to reload amazon about 8 times yesterday, and trust me, I have been there a lot over the years, it only gets worse with each update in my humble opinion, and not on just one computer but my laptop also where it is actually slower, and Jaws sound vacillates between audible and sounding like I have earphones in almost from the speaker when I do not.
I do not plan to upgrade to 10 immediately, eventually, probably next year some time, which means I will be on IE 11 for a long time, I note that if someone is here and Jaws is not loaded they don't get stuck, hung up, or have to start completely over, with shutdown and restart of the computer from beginning and making sure no other app is open, even then it exhibits the same behavior. I need to expand my cursing category of words to keep from boring myself throughout this clunky process. Same with Firefox I might add. I am paying for top speed DSL, tired of spending hours, many starts and restarts to find information or shop for what I need. Using the phone, as I have said previously is my very last resort and often I will decide then to not even bother. I don't understand NVDA well enough to see if it works or Window Eyes, although I have both on my computer to learn, play with. So far have not done much with either on the net, Com on JAWS, I pay really good money to keep up to date, I pay nothing for the other two, so I understand that they may not be current or that they may be slower, or that keystrokes I have used since 1998 may not be intuitive for me on other screen reading programs. Frustrated with this particular situation, computer is a year old with mega memory more than 8 Gb, a terabyte hard drive, Windows 7, IE 11, Jaws 16 latest build released, use IE and Outlook 2010 many times a day, other programs occasionally, up-to-date virus and malware protection. If this is something I need to fix in registry, I need to know, in step fashion, what to look for and what I need to change. I don't like regedit all that much, but I do feel that given proper directions I could fix a problem or delete a key, I have been there a couple of times, mostly in Windows XP years ago.

Before answering, please read my View settings after the questions because turning off the toolbars doesn't fix this: Sometimes I get stuck in the list of recently visited websites. This list begins with Address and Search using Bing (edit). Sometimes I can shift-tab or control-left-arrow out of this list and back to the webpage, but sometimes I can't. When I can't get out of this list, I try every possible arrow or tab key combination that I can think of, and I am still stuck in the list. Sometimes I can navigate out of this list to the Internet Explorer tabs, and can't get back to the actual web page from its tab. I have looked for Jaws or Internet Explorer keystrokes to get off a website tab and into the page, with no luck. In my View menu: Toolbars: the only check is by Lock the Toolbars. No other toolbar is checked, so I assume they should not be present, but it appears that the list of recent sites is definitely onscreen because I can get stuck in it. Nothing is checked under Explorer Bars. Zoom is 100% Carrot Browsing is on. I have this exact same thing happen on my home computer, also running Windows 7 64 bit. I hope someone can shed some light on this. I need to be productive with Internet Explorer and this problem really slows me down. Thank you for any help you can give. Terrie Mary T.
