Incorrect Screen Reader Announcements when Switching Tabs

[Simon818]

Before reporting your issue

• I have confirmed that this issue does not happen when ExplorerPatcher is not installed
• I do not have "register as shell extension" enabled
• I have tried my best to check existing issues

Repro ExplorerPatcher versions

26100.4946.69.6

Repro Windows Versions

Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.8037) AMD64

3rd party tweak software installed

Open Shell (highly unlikely to be the cause)

Describe the bug

When using the keyboard to switch tabs, the screen reader announces the wrong tab title. For instance, if I press 7, NVDA says "Selected page: Spotlight" but it is actually displaying the Updates page. They seem to fall out of sync partway through, and my guess is the tabs were reorganized at some point and the announcements didn't keep up.

Expected outcome

The screen reader should announce the newly-displayed tab title.

Actual outcome

The screen reader announces the wrong tab title.

Additional info

This is reproducible with Narrator in case you need an actual screen reader to test with. Press ctrl_windows+enter to turn Narrator on or off. When in the Properties window, press the numbers on the number row or use left/right arrow.

No response

Media

I don't have OBS on this machine yet; if you have trouble tracking this down or this isn't clear, let me know and i'll throw together a screen recording with audio.

when you say tabs, do you mean the applications that are shown on the taskbar? If so, which taskbar are you using? Is it the EP implemented windows 10 taskbar?
