I’m late to this thread, but this happens sometimes on my work machine running Windows 10 Pro.

However, here at home on Windows Home 64 bit, it has never happened.

Jaws startup is set the same, Start Jaws at the logon screen, after logon for all users, and the combo box says always for this user.

This is now with Jaws 2020 but it worked the same for me on Jaws 2019.

 

I chalk these kinds of inconsistencies up to Gremlins.

It made the start up issue for Jaws even worse and then Jaws would respond sluggishly for quite a bit. Turning off fast start up can affect many programs.

How did it make things worse? That is one I never heard before.

Yes, I got the same answer turn off fast start up. That made no difference and in fact made things worse. I turned it back on

Hi Joe!

 

Well, I have turned off “fast startup” but that has not fixed it.  This was suggested by FS.

 

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I have this problem as well running Jaws 2020 and Windows 10 Pro the in the latest version of the operating system.  I had been using only Jaws at start but when I use Zoom Text  as well Jaws started  after signing in.  This makes me think there is a problem at start up and the additional time required to start Zoom Text or Fusion allows for Jaws to start up properly.

Hi!

 

I am using JAWS 2019 under Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, all updated.  After signing-in, JAWS does not start.  My laptop has two user accounts: Admin and Visitor.  Both are password protected.  I have set JAWS to always start at the logon screen (a.k.a., sign-in screen), and it does.  But, after sign-in JAWS does not start.  This is despite having both the Admin and Visitor accounts set to “always” start after login.

 

I have fiddled with this a lot but I cannot get it to work.  “Fast startup” is off.  I have tried many different settings under the JAWS Options > Basics > Automatically Start JAWS Settings screen, but nothing works.

 

Does anyone else have this problem?  Has anyone solved this?

 

Thanks,

Richard
