When pres Application key at a folder in file Explorer, or a shortcut on Desktop, NVDA usually says: context menu but not the same in Windows 10 Start menu. After pressing, we can press arrow key to explorer the menu, but it would be better if NVDA says: context menu. This make people who beginner of learning computer feel easier. Found this issue when teaching basic computer on desktops using Windows 10 64 bit v 1803, NVDA 2018.2.1. This stil occurs on my laptop running the same OS with NVDA 2018.3rc1.

Steps to reproduce:

Open start menu, search for a program such as wordpad and press Application on the shortcut.

Actual behavior:

NVDA does not say anything.

Expected behavior:

Should say context menu, or a message announce that.

System configuration:

NVDA Installed/portable/running from source:

Install

NVDA version:

2018.2.1, 2018.3rc1

Windows version:

Windows 10 pro 64 bit, v 1803

Yes its always occurs

Have you tried any other versions of NVDA?

no.

Hi, this is because selection event is fired immediately after context menu appears. CC @MichaelDCurran

I've also noticed its saying context and that is all in 7, has there been some textual changes?

When you start arrowing up/down through the menu, NVDA reads the selected menu item. So it is only the selection when the menu first opens that is not announced.

Hi,

August 2021 update: when you do open context menu for a suggestion in Start screen (this is on Windows 10 Version 21H2, by the way), NvDA Will say "context menu", which is better than last time this issue had an update.

Thanks.
