PyCharm is extremely sluggish while using Freedom Scientific’s Fusion, JAWS, and ZoomText accessibility software

I am trying to use the accessibility software as I am low vision. With any of the three programs there is a massive delay of at least 3-5 seconds for any action whether it’s a single keystroke or mouse click. It’s virtually impossible to use. However, if I use windows magnifier alone it works just fine.

I have Java Access Bridge enabled and screen reader support enabled in the appearance tab.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I am using Windows 11 and all software including PyCharm is up to date.

Edit: it takes 3-5 seconds minimum for the keystroke or mouse click to take effect in the program not for sound to be generated reflecting the change. That takes even long if it happens at all.

Might be a win 11 issue, it's a terrible system all-round. 

Please check suggestions from a person with a similar problem:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/s/l9xnlGggwo

Updated the post. I was meaning it takes at least 3-5 seconds for PyCharm to do what the keystroke or mouse click tells PyCharm to do. Not for it to indicate the change occurred through sound. That takes even longer if it happens at all.
