Hi carol,
I'm sorry, but I don't have an answer. I've never had a real problem
with the foreground staging window. As I said, when I get it, I just hit
Windows+D and go back to what I was doing. It's gone and doesn't come back.
I don't even remember exactly when it comes up. It's not when I connect
a drive. The drive just pops up in explorer and I paste what I've
already cut or copied from another drive. I think it might come up when
I eject the external drive. And again, I just Windows+D and it's gone.
I suspect the reason the guy from Microsoft didn't know anything is that
the window is probably invisible. I saw this problem with MalwareBytes
and notified them. The problem is that they're just shrinking the window
down to 0 by 0 pixels instead of using the proper hide method.
Consequently, to a screen reader, it's still a window.
All I can suggest is to play around with the order in which you do
things. Hopefully you'll find one that works.
Good luck,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Thanks for writing. In my case, I would go to the folder I wanted and
then alt-tab to the drive I wanted to paste the files I wanted to move.
The problem, although the drive was already open, was that WE would read
absolutely nothing except the title bar read command would say
"foreground staging." Windows-d would open the desktop back up, but the
folders I already had open would not speak. A reboot did solve the
problem for now. I canned the Microsoft Disability desk and the person
there did not know what I was talking about. He did, although, quote
help me out by changing the way my files are now listed. You know how
the item number is normally spoken at the end of a file name in a list,
he fixed it so the number would be read first. Also, I have always kept
my files listed in detail view. Now, there are three columns and if I
want to read down through a list, I have to use the right arrow and
there are no longer details for the files. Oh well, I guess one gets
what they pay for, grin.

Hi Carol,
Going to the desktop is how I take care of the foreground staging
screen too. And I usually don't see it again. Although it does pop up
once in a while. And it certainly hasn't caused any problems. I only
see it when I'm on the desktop anyway, after boot, waking, or having
had gone to the desktop before transferring files to a thumb drive.
All I can think of is to use Windows+D instead of Windows+M if that's
what you use. It's all I do.
Hth,
Tom

Does anyone know how to get rid of the foreground staging screen in
Windows 10? It basically locks up my system in the manner that I can
not read anything else except the title bar unless I go to the
desktop. I can then open a folder, but if I do anything in that
folder, the blank foreground staging screen comes up again. Thanks
for any help.
Carol
