Hi all,

Windows App Essentials 22.01 is now available.

IMPORTANT: this is the last release to support Windows 10 Version 20H2 (October 2020 Update/build 19042).

Changelog:

  • Transferred layout invalidated event tracking and logging to Event Tracker add-on.
  • The following UIA events are no longer tracked and logged due to lack of useful information: drag start, drag cancel, drop target enter, drop target leave.
  • XAML heading recognition is deprecated and will be removed in a future release as it caused problems in apps such as Calculator and Settings.
  • Removed app modules for File Explorer and Microsoft Store as Store version 2 (Windows 10/11) provides better support for download progress announcements without using the app module.
  • Added support for Windows 11 Notepad.
  • File Explorer: due to compatibility issues with other add-ons, File Explorer app module was removed which may cause increased verbosity when switching between apps in Windows 11. The fix for "pane" announcement issue when switching apps is not affected.
  • Notepad (Windows 11 preview): NVDA will announce status items such as line and column information when report status bar command (NVDA+End in desktop layout, NvDA+Shift+End in laptop layout) is performed.
  • Notepad (Windows 11 preview): NVDA will no longer announce entered text when pressing Enter key from the document.
  • Settings: in Windows 11, breadcrumb bar items are properly recognized.

Enjoy.
