Currently, in the Performance tab of Task Manager, NVDA is not able to read the information such as the current CPU usage, which in some cases can be a useful piece of information. Could display hooks be used in this particular situation to obtain this information?

Hi Elliott,

The correct way to read that information is to focus on the performance tab, then close and reopen the windows task manager. Then, you can read the window fine, and get the CPU usage and such. I guess, we should rather change this ticket to, "NVDA does not refresh the window buffer it has obtained using display hooks as the property tabs are changed", since if you look carefully, the information there is from the processes tab, or the tasks tab, depending on what tab you were on when the window opened.

You can also read the CPU usage, etc. from the status bar in Task Manager with NVDA+end.

Closing as worksForMe as you can use flat review to access all the information. However things have recently most likely improved as now NVDA will no longer also include random info from background tabs in flat review, which may make reading this content a little easier.
Changes:
Added labels: worksforme
State: closed
