Hi all,

Windows App Essentials (formerly Wiondows 10 App Essentials) 21.08 is now available.

Changelog:

  • Initial support for Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Second 2021 Update), unofficial support for Windows Server 2022. These two releases have different build numbers.
  • Requires Windows 10 Version 20H2 or later.
  • Experimental support for Windows 11, not to be confused with Windows 10 Version 21H2.
  • Windows Search (formerly classic Cortana) and modern keyboard app modules were renamed to reflect executable names for these apps in Version 2004 and later.
  • Removed app module for combined Mail and Calendar (experimental version) as separate apps were reinstated in late 2020.
  • The ability to track and log events for most events is handled by a new add-on named Event Tracker. Consequently, tracking events such as name change and controler for events is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • In search fields, NVDA can announce suggestions count whenever suggestions list changes as opposed to only when suggestions are first shown.
  • Added support for layout invalidated UIA event, used to announce suggestions count changes as search terms are entered.
  • When tracking events, information specific to certain events such as suggestion count for layout invalidated event will be logged separately from general information such as UIA element and Automation Id.
  • Removed additional dialog class names as the only place where it was applicable (Windows Insider Program sign up screen) is no longer a dialog.
  • Settings: in Settings/Update and Security/Recovery/Reset, initial progress messages and content changes are announced even when selective UIA event registration is active.
  • Windows Search/File Explorer: in Windows 11, NVDA will no longer fail to announce suggestion count, caused by the Windows Search executable being renamed.

Enjoy.
