Hi All,
I sometimes run NVDA from a thumb drive at work, and all is good. My
problem is that I'm not sure how to stop using NVDA. I'll describe what
I do. I'm hoping for help doing it better.
1. When I finish working, I press NVDA+q to quit the screen reader, then
enter to confirm. I hear the NVDA shutdown earcon, and speech stops.
2. I press ctrl+Windows+enter to start Narrator.
3. I navigate to the thumb drive in This PC.
4. I press the context key, down-arrow to Eject, and press enter.
5. I get a window telling me that the file is in use. It prompts me to
Cancel, Retry, or Continue, bearing in mind that I may lose unsaved work
if I select Continue. I press enter on Continue anyway.
At the end of Step 5, my expectation is that I'll hear the disconnect
chime and get a popup telling me I can remove my thumb drive. That
doesn't happen, even if I spend a few minutes before Step 4 closing down
other programs, etc. Pressing enter on Try Again in Step 5 doesn't help,
and neither does cancelling and starting over from Step 3. I wind up
just pulling the thumb drive out and obsessing about whether I've broken
it this time.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any wisdom.
Ciao
