  1. Open the new start menu.
  2. Navigate to the right to the next group, doesn't matter which row you enter from.
    At this point, NVDA seems to use the app in the top left of the group as its name, in this case, for me, group 2 is indicated as "news grouping".
    I can think of 2 ways of announcing this better.
    JAWS 14, when you open the start screen, will say how many total items there are in the group. When moving to a new one, it also plays a sound, and again, announces the total number of items. I can provide a sound if you choose to go this way. Or it could just say "group with x items"
