Hi,

 

If it is checked it sometimes helps to uncheck it, close the program and restart it, then go back in and check it.

 

Computers and programs are as fickled as us. LOL

Hi Tom

 

To check the Jaws update notification status open the JAWS context menu,Insert + J, then press the letter, O , to open Options or press enter on options and press enter on, Basics.

 

Now tab to, Automatic notification of updates, and make sure this is checked.  If you make any changes tab to, Okay, and press enter to save / close the context menu.

 

 

Stay safe and take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Mike Pietruk:

It's not that simple.

For some reason, I've never gotten notification of Jaws updates on either of
my Windows 10 computers, and I never unchecked the box to automatically
check for updates.

This is why, in my view, Mike B's e-mails notifying us of updates, and
including the "what's new" info is so important.  They are very much
appreciated here.

If someone can tell me where to go to check the update notification box, I'd
be happy to give it a try.

Why would anyone intentionally uncheck the box to automatically check for
updates?  I can see this happening accidentally, but otherwise, it makes
little sense in my mind.
It's an alert and does not install anything unless you choose to do so. 
And, even if you initially accepted the update, there are additional
confirmations required before actually installation.

I'd be curious to know why would some folks not wanted to be told of
available updates?
