Hi, Exiting the nested session will work, but I'll have to see how tedious that approach will be in practice. As to using NVDA in the remote session I just install the RDAccess add-on https://github.com/LeonarddeR/rdAccess on the local machine and all remote machines I need to connect to. It works out of the box. I'm honestly surprised the nested remote access scenarios are not supported better by screen readers - this appears to be a quite common workflow in more secure environments. -- Regards Lukasz On Tue, 29 Apr 2025 20:50:37 +0000 Andrew Hodgson via Blind-sysadmins <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> wrote:
Hi.
Yeah I never really got round this one. I tended to end up exiting the whole session then building it back up again. I only needed the nested session a couple of times a week so it wasn't a biggy.
How are you dealing with NVDA in the remote session?
Thanks. Andrew.

Dear all,
At work I'll soon have to work in a nested RDP session, meaning that I'll connect to a first RDP server from my laptop and then connect from there via RDP to a second PC, to which the development board I need to access is connected. I have simulated such setup and my main accessibility related worry turned out to be irrelevant, as NVDA's RDAccess works flawlessly in that configuration, with both speech and Braille. I am, however, unable to leave the second session, without leaving the entire RDP. The CTRL++ALT+pause and CTRL+ALT+HOME move me to my main desktop / to the connection bar of the first connection, even when performed in the second session. The tips from the Internet about using CTRL+SHIFG+ALT+HOME don't work;. I have also found some articles about scripting these shortcuts with AutoHotKey, however it seems folks have very limited luck with this approach. How are you handling this situation? Is there a method for switching away from the nested session I overlooked?
