I always had the same problem in both Windows 8/8.1 and 10, regardless of the hardware of my different PCs. Until Freedom Scientific finds a solution, I usually go to the Details page (equivalent to Processes in the Windows 7 Task Manager) to navigate faster. This is not a big problem for me, because I don't need to know which processes are in the background and how many ones associate Windows with a single program; if I want to know disk or network usage for a given process, this info can be added as a column in Details. I never checked if deleting JAWS factory scripts for Windows 8 Task Manager (the same set of files are used in Windows 10) improves speed at some degree.

The subject pretty much explains it all. JAWS takes several seconds to announce names and details of processes as I arrow through them, or use the tab key to move between the different columns. I estimate that between a key press and JAWS actually saying something, the wait is often as much as five seconds. This annoys me a lot, because task manager is supposed to be a quick and easy way to end/start/manipulate processes. I've thought of swapping out the native Windows task manager for Process Explorer. But that programme has a lot more detail and fine tuning options than Microsoft's Task Manager, and more animated graphics, so I'm not really sure that would improve the situation. I know this has to do with JAWS, because when my sighted partner uses TM, it's as quick as can be. It does seem more responsive using NVDA, but I'm wondering if there's any way I can improve the situation re/using JFW. I'm using JAWS 18, and have W10 1709. Thanks.
