  2. June Update crashes continuously. How do I get back to previous install?

I always create a restore point before installing any new software on my system including Jaws. I have had to dial back more than once since Jaws 4.5 when I first began.

I am a bit surprised that FS doesn't include previous builds of a particular version of JAWS on their Web site for people who feel the need to revert to a previous build within the same release cycle. While they do have previous versions this only gives you the last version for a particular release.

Hi John,

 

Here's a direct Dropbox download link for the April Jaws 2020 installer.

I just updated Jaws 2020 to the June update on my laptop. When I tried to activate the new Avoid Silence feature it crashes instantly and repeatedly. Now it won’t load for more than a few seconds before crashing. I just removed it and have gone back to the last 2019 version. Is there a way to find and install the version from April? I mean the one that didn’t break email conversion handling in Outlook.

 

Thanks

 

John
