Ah yes, it does show up spoken as a dialog box every now and then, but
of course it has no content. You can bring up a context menu of sort by
pressing the alt key, but if I remember correctly, it only has the
options to move or to close, and the close option seems to do
absolutely nothing.

Larry,
This is strange. 32770 is the class name for a standard Windows
dialog, like those used within programs for opening files or a Save As
dialog. I suspect the title bar hot key might give you this if a
dialog pops up that has no title or name.
I'll try to remember to check this if I can ever catch the foreground
staging window.

Tom, Don't know if this might give you a clew as to what is going on
with foreground staging, but what might be an error code 32770 some
times comes when pressing ctrl-shift-T rather than foreground staging
being spoken.
Sure hope this helps, because I am having the same problem at the
moment. It comes and goes. And it sure does make tabbing from window
to window a bit of a pain.

Hi Carol,
No problem. I like tracking down these annoyances and squashing
them. It's strange how I rarely see it and it's a real problem for
you. Oh the mysteries of computers. Aren't they wonderful.

Hi Tom,
That is so nice of you to continue to follow through with this
crazy anomaly. It does go away if I reboot and stays gone for a
while. Closing WE does also help, but it does not stay gone as long
as a restart. Anyway, I am learning to put up with it for the most
part. The biggest problem is when I have more than two or three
windows open at a time. Then, none of the windows speak when
alt-tabbing and more likely than not, they do not speak when I land
on them. Anyway, I will be through my moving soon enough and won't
need to worry about it again, grin. Well, maybe not for a month or
so. Thanks for trying to figure it out.

Hi Carol,
That's strange. I've never had it pop up over a program window. As
I said, for me it's always on the desktop. I thought it was after
ejecting a drive. But I just tried that and got nothing.
I never thought it had anything to do with Window-Eyes either. But
I can't remember now if I've seen it with NVDA. And I don't know
what "enhanced on" would be. Although it might be something in the
Window-Eyes control panel. I assume you have it running in the
system tray. That is to say, the Window-Eyes control panel isn't
in the Alt+Tab order unless it's open. The reason I say this is
because when a window is set to be in the tray it actually flashes
open and is then minimized to the tray.
All I can say is that the next time I see it I'll pop up the
Window-Eyes scripting window and see if I can get the source of
the foreground staging window. Maybe if I can figure out what it
is I can write a script to stomp on it. Smile.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Here is an update on the foreground staging issue. It came bacdk
again today. The interesting thing was that I was in my f drive
and inside the music folder. I clicked on a song to play and the
foreground staging title bar was there, but again, there was
nothing showing on the screen. There are a couple of interesting
items here to report. The screen was my Winamp screen, although
it would not say anything. I could navigate through the track I
was playing with my arrow keys, which confirmed what the screen
was. The other interesting thing was that I closed WE and
reopened it. Although I was not on the desktop when I closed WE,
that is where I landed. After telling me where I was, WE voiced
something that said "enhanced on." This has only happened a few
times and seems to be in the same time period as the foreground
staging issue. Today, at least, the foreground staging window
will go away for a while if I restart WE.

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
