Windows 11, ColumnsReview doesn't work in the Details tab of the Task Manager

[amirsol81]

@ABuffEr Greetings.
I just noticed that ColumnsReview does nothing in the Details section or pane of the Task Manager in Windows 11 22H2. I'm raising this issue because the equivalent hot keys JAWS provides - like ColumnsReview - do function in the Details section of Task Manager, and pressing Control+JAWS key+numbers 1 to 8 announces something like the following:
Name: AdguardSvc.exe
PID: 5156
Status: Running
User name: SYSTEM
CPU: 04
Memory (active private working set): 123,220 K
Architecture: x86
Description: AdGuard for Windows
It's worth mentioning that like ColumnsReview, JAWS doesn't work in the Processes section of the Task Manager in Windows 11. However - and unlike ColumnsReview, reading headers is fully operational with JAWS in the Details section which offers a long list of processes without a table or something akin to that. As such, hope we can also have ColumnsReview active there.
Thanks.

@ABuffEr Greetings. Any progress or analysis on this one?

Hi @amirsol81,
I was gone away in the week-end, had literally no time to see (Thunderbird is saying 291 messages to read 😱).
Anyway, I'm quite sure that it's not a ColumnsReview issue, but a NVDA issue, that not fully support UIA in that context yet. You should be able to verify this trying to move with ctrl+alt+arrows. Beqa and Leonard worked around it recently, but the feature was causing problems and was canceled, if I remember well.
However, I have stable access just to Windows 10, and at the moment I have very very little time to code, even if I'm not convinced this turn is of ColumnsReview.

@ABuffEr Thanks for your reply!
I just took a closer look. But unlike the Processes tab which has access issues as you put it, the Details tab seems to be quite navigable with Control+NVDA key+ arrows. The tabs are quite different in the way they present/display info and the way they relay information to screen readers. As such, JAWS is utilizing the capabilities of the Details tab to offer header reading via Control+JAWS key+1 through 8. So I think maybe if your time constraints allow, ColumnsReview can be optimized for this particular view which is a lot more organized and friendly. I haven't looked, but it seems to me that Windows 10's Details tab is similar to that of Windows 11.

@ABuffEr Sorry - I meant Control+ALT+ arrows in the Details tab do work with NVDA. But, as this issue states, ColumnsReview doesn't read the headers.

Hi,
meanwhile I disposed mails. It seems to be at least an issue with that window.
So, let's see how to evolve the situation.

The issues are resolved for him after running a set of commands in the Python Console, and I don't experience the sluggishness in the Details tab either.
