Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Edge to a blank page, or any page.
2. Press control+j to open downloads.
3. Use the arrows to move to any download.
4. Press the applications key to open the context menu
5. Press the down arrow to move through the options.

Actual behavior:

The focus moves through the items in the context menu, however NVDA does not read anything. There is nothing written to the log.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should read the context menu.

Other information about your system:

I did find a workaround for anyone hitting this, is to open the downloads page rather than the "menu":

1. Press alt+d to open the address bar.
2. Type the following
   edge://downloads
3. Press enter

The user who reported this also noted that the context meu (after pressing control+j ) reads fine with both Narrator and Jaws.
