Please don't tell people to uninstall the video accessibility driver, that is very bad advice at this point especially if the accessibility display driver is checked in Settings. If that is the case and you uninstall the video display driver each time your system boots or Jaws restarts it will give you a message that the display driver is missing and while the system may mostly work fine, there are situations where it will not work correctly. I use software, for example, which works only if the accessibility display driver is enabled and in other situations it works better if it is disabled and I use the new so-called GDI or deep level hooking.
In any case, for most people who are just Jaws users and not terribly technically inclined this could have really bad consequences and they would then need tech support to help them fix the problem.

Hi,

Ok, try getting rid of the Accessibility Driver. You can either turn it off in JAWS Settings Center or uninstall it completely from "Programs and Features".

Hi,

I think John is saying JAWS doesn't read automatically with it. Yes
you should still be able to read with the JAWS cursor though.

All the best

I just opened Power Shell (Admin) from the Windows + X menu and typed
ipconfig to display my computer's IP configuration and I can read
this with the Jaws cursor.

I want to be able to use powershell, so I am not sure what you mean,
the only thing I see in properties (using powershell) is one checkbox
to toggle legacy console features. However, my problem appears in
both powershell and regular cmd.

You may have to set the command prompt to be legacy instead of using
PowerShell.

You can do this in CMD properties.

Hi. At least with version 1809, jfw will not read anything in the
command window if run as administrator. If I virtualize the window,
I see the text, but other wise nothing -- jaws cursor reads nothing
as well. Tech support says its not supported, but that makes no
sense to me and Narrator reads it fine.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
