Hello:
The controversy arises when a person wants to have JAWS turned off during the update or installation. JAWS used to have a self-voicing installer which appears no longer to be present today. Worst case scenario, turn off JAWS, turn on Narrator, run the update. Easy peasy.
Cordially,
Curtis Chong

I'm confused. I just installed the new update. Throughout, I tracked the steps and progress as JAWS verbalized them.
What exactly is the controversy?

Hi, Gene. I believe Freedom Scientific intentionally removed the self voicing installer from JAWS, because now, Narrator can be used to monitor the install.

I just did the update and sent Freedom Scientific tech support a message, ever since the beginning of the year, or somewhere around there, the installer's self voicing feature hasn't worked. I prefer to exit JAWS once the installer starts, I find that there are fewer possibilities for trouble that way.

Hi, Curtis. If it weren't for your message and Molly's message, I would not have known about a new update. I am going to install the update on my desktop and then I am going to use the help utility and check for the update on my laptop. Molly needed to check the box to download the update and go from there. I will also listen to the podcast featuring Eric Damery.

Hello:

I am not experiencing this issue, but I do have Windows 10. There was an update released today. You can download it directly off of the Freedom Scientific website. Here is the direct download link.

Subject: strange issue when checking for Jaws updates

Hi everyone. I am having a weird problem with Jaws. When Jaws turns on, it informs me that an update is available. However, I get the following message. "The following updates are available. List view, 0 items." Pressing tab, there is a cancel button, and that's it. There does not appear to be an actual update for Jaws. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I am running Windows 11, version 21h2, and Jaws version 2022.
