There's nothing to check. Updates are no longer an option in Windows 10. That is, you can't say you don't want them. The best you can cd is pause them for seven days.

what is the difference between feature updates and quality updates?

Re: duck duck go browser

It's been a long morning and I'm probably missing something obvious, but using the link in the post, I'm not finding a way of downloading DuckDuckGo as a browser on Windows 10 Pro with JAWS 2020. Google Chrome is my default browser. Am I correct that if, I want to make Chrome more private, I should get the DuckDuckGo Chrome extension? And it's at the Chrome store? And I don't need an extension for DuckDuckGo as a browser? Any help straightening me out will be greatly appreciated. Margaret

Eric also suggested that if we don't want to wait till version 79 comes out at the end of the month that we could download version 79 beta. I did that and so far, so good. No crashes.

I’m not having the problems with nVDA though; that’s a strange thing because you aren’t the first person to say it’s also crashy with the other screen reader – but this is only happening with jFW on my end. My laptop only has nVDA and I’ts a much slower/less powerful system than the desktop, but new FF seems pretty stable there.

It's up to 78.0.2, and it's real broke even on JAWS 2020. Doesn't work any better with NVDA or Narrator, so I'm not all-fired sure it's a JAWS problem.

Re: JAWS and Zoom ... screen sharing
Ann Byrne
Sometimes when the screen is being shared, you can read it using picture smart, with the keystroke recommended for reading PowerPoint. When the meeting agenda was being shared this morning, I pressed insert+spacebar, then c, and was able to read the agenda line-by-line. There was extraneous stuff as well, but the agenda was clear.

Re: JAWS and Zoom
Richard Turner
According to the Zoom Help Center, alt+f2 is the keyboard command to switch to Gallery View in a video meeting.
Page up or down apparently shows the previous or next 25 videos in gallery view, or something like that. Since I’m blind, I don’t bother with this.
You may need to reach out either to zoom support or FS.

Hi. I can answer a couple of your questions. First, you get to the participant list by pressing alt-U. You have to tab around until you get to the list of names; then you can arrow up and down. This is somewhat buggy. They claim they’re going to fix it so that every time you get into the participant list you’ll be put in the list of names by default, but they haven’t fixed it yet. To chat with a participant, you have to open the chat panel. You do this by pressing alt-H. That opens the chat panel. You then tab around until you find the names of participants and press enter on the name of the person you want to chat with. By default it’s set to send a chat to everyone. Hope this helps.

Dear Listers:
I am taking part in a class at church via Zoom. I know how to join a meeting and how to mute and unmute my microphone, but there are a few things I am having problems with. First, when you join a meeting, how do you get to the Gallery view using JAWS? Also, when I get to the list of participants JAWS won’t read the list whenever I arrow up and down. Also, I know there is a spot where it says, “Find a participant.” I assume you enter the person’s name and then the person’s name will show. But if you want to send a message to that participant, how do you do it? Whenever I find the “Find Participant,” link and enter the person’s name, when I tab again it just gives me the option to either clear the search or cancel. So what does this mean?

In Windows, ever since I can remember, the last sound device plugged into the computer becomes the default.

On Behalf Of Rick Miller
Dear Listers:
I am taking part in a class at church via Zoom. I know how to join a meeting and how to mute and unmute my microphone, but there are a few things I am having problems with. First, when you join a meeting, how do you get to the Gallery view using JAWS? Also, when I get to the list of participants JAWS won’t read the list whenever I arrow up and down. Also, I know there is a spot where it says, “Find a participant.” I assume you enter the person’s name and then the person’s name will show. But if you want to send a message to that participant, how do you do it? Whenever I find the “Find Participant,” link and enter the person’s name, when I tab again it just gives me the option to either clear the search or cancel. So what does this mean?

I tried that too, but it didn't work.

Re: Windows 10 question
And one should:
1. Never, ever think about turning off the Windows Update service. 2. Realize, that with regard to Feature Updates which change the Version of Windows 10 that's running, they are not fully automatic in any meaningful sense anymore. You will be presented with the option to Download and install in the Windows Update Pane of Update & Security Settings. Unless you activate that link, the feature update will not apply. (Or at least it will not apply while the version that's on your machine remains in support. It's well-nigh impossible that one would not have triggered the download and install of the next feature update long before whatever one is using goes out of support 18 months after its introduction.) -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Hi,

Not easily anymore: although you can pause updates for up to five weeks, you can't delay feature updates for up to a year from Settings (this used to be case with Version 1909/November 2019 Update, not anymore since Version 2004/May 2020 Update). Cheers, Joseph
