Hi Peter, I've been playing. When I plug in a USB that is bitlocker protected, I get a toast which I can read with Windows + V. Like you, Enter and Space do nothing for me. But I can Tab twice - first time I get to "Dismiss this notification", second time JAWS says nothing, but if I then press Space, it opens the necessary screen for entering the password.
So the steps that work for me are Windows + V, Tab, Tab, Space. The toast only stays on screen for a few seconds, so I have to be quick!

Hi Steve, that worked. After hearing the musical tone, windows+v gives me the notification message. Itannounces the device and: tap to choose what happens with removable drive I cannot invoke a tap, the space-bar and ENTER do nothing. When I choose to eject the USB pen drive I hear: ... safe to remove hardware. Inserting the MS Office setup disk does not start automatically and I don't know how to tap with the keyboard. Thanks for getting me this far. Peter T.
