Re: Operating System unassisted install
Yes, once you know the installer has started wait a couple of minutes and then press Control + Windows + Enter and Narrator will start up and just as on an iPhone where you can bring up Voiceover to complete the setup, you can then install and setup Windows to the point where you can install your third-party screenreader of choice. I have done it many times and it works great.

Re: Irritating problems with JAWS 2018

I didn't have any focus problems with 18 that I recall, but I sure do with 19 now. That's why I'm trying out the 20 beta.

Hi,

Sorry I can't help with the first but I can tell you that 2018 did have a lot of trouble with losing focus. A JAWS re boot at times fixed the problem for a time. Tabbing away and coming back is annoying but works. So far the issue is much less, if at all, in 2019. Yes, Freedom was aware of the issue. Dan

Have you checked in Settings > Gaming > Game Bar and Game Mode to see that Game Bar and Game Mode is turned off?

You may not like this, but keep in mind that Jaws 2018 is 2 years old, I guess a bit less if you count updates for Jaws 2018 throughout that year, but as Windows moves on (version 1809, 1903 and soon 1909 are all versions which came after Jaws 2018 support ended) you may find more and more issues. Especially in Jaws 2020 people will probably see some pretty drastic improvements with respect to how Jaws access information with the new GDI or deep level hooking, I think currently the old accessibility display driver is still on by default, but I assume this may change very soon.

If using the Focus 14 or 40 5th Generation, bring the display settings up and find Rest.

Re: Pinning a Message
CathyAnne Murtha
I'm not sure which version of Outlook you're using. I'm using Office 365 and use the Windows Application Menu.
1. Focus on a message in the message list 2. Open the Windows Application Menu (WINDOWS APPLICATION KEY or SHIFT-F10) 3. Press ENTER on Follow-up 4. Within he Follow-up menu, press ENTER on "No Date" After setting the Follow-up, set your email arrangement to "Flag Status." This puts your flagged messages at the top and your other messages sorted by date at the bottom. Messages with "No Date" follow-ups are always at the top. To arrange messages by Flag Status: 1. Open the View Ribbon (ALT-V) 2. Activate the "Arrange By" (AB) 3. Within the list, select "Flag Status" (L) CathyAnne CathyAnne Murtha Access Technology Institute, LLC cathy@blind.training www.blind.training (520) 955-6611

Re: Windows 10 "Sign-in" versus Windows 7 "Logon" Screens
Hi, They are essentially the same thing – differences in terminology. In case one creates multiple user accounts in Windows 10, users will see a list of users to choose from and asked for credentials in any number of ways – passwords, pin, picture password, fingerprint, iris scan and so on.

Re: Windows 10 "Sign-in" versus Windows 7 "Logon" Screens
As far as their respective functions, they're absolutely synonymous.
There are now Microsoft Account linked and local Windows 10 User Accounts, and there were only the equivalent of local under Windows 7. But, still, that doesn't change the way the Sign-in screen works, which is essentially the same way that the Log-in screen did under Windows 7 when there are multiple accounts. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362  Many of the insights of the saint stem from his experience as a sinner.         ~ Eric Hoffer

Re: Windows 10 "Sign-in" versus Windows 7 "Logon" Screens
If you have more than one user they also show up in Windows 10, you can tab to the one you want, press enter and it will ask for that user’s password or PIN (if you set up a PIN).  Â

Re: Windows Mail with JAWS beta 2020
Remember that anybody now can download and install the Jaws 2020 public beta and you loose nothing since it runs perfectly well and completely separately alongside Jaws 2019 or any other Jaws version you have installed.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
For people who are still on Jaws 2018, Jaws 18 or, even worse, Jaws 17 which you really should not be on any more if you use Windows 10, this is a great opportunity to use Jaws 2020 for the next 5 or 6 weeks until the final release. At this point of course you could only run it in demo mode unless you have an SMA left or decide to purchase one. If you are in the US you can always opt for the annual $90/year subscription.
