Hi Madison,

It is a problem in JAWS 2021 which was there in 2020 also and was not fixed.
I wonder when they will fix it, hopefully In the next update.

Subject: Jaws 2021 question/problem

Hi all,
I upgraded to Jaws 2021 almost 2 weeks ago now and I have a problem that
I've noticed. When I go to my favourites list in Edge, or when I go into
contacts in Outlook, or start a new message in Outlook type a letter and
then do ctrl k to bring up a list of addresses starting with that letter,
Jaws will only read a few items and then stop speaking. When this happens in
favourites I have to alt tab to something else and then alt tab back and
then Jaws will start reading again, but then stops speaking again after
reading a few more items. When this happens in Outlook I have to go to the
bottom of the list of addresses starting with that letter or the end of my
contacts and then arrow up and Jaws will read a few more and then stop
speaking again. Now when I upgraded I was asked if I wanted to import
settings or something like that and I said yes, though I don't recall having
any settings set that have anything to do with this. So I'm wondering, is
this an issue with Jaws 2021, or is there some setting or something that I
can change so that Jaws will stop doing this? I'm just glad that my Braille
display works when this happens. Now, I know some of you might suggest
switching to an earlier version of Jaws, but I do these things on a daily
basis, and besides I don't have any earlier versions of Jaws on this
computer as I uninstalled 2018 after I upgraded. Running Jaws 2021, Outlook
2013, the latest Edge and Windows 10 2004. Thanks for any help/suggestions
anyone can provide!!!!!

moderated Re: using jaws how do you set up for the first time WIFI on a new computer?

Kevin Minor
 

Hi.

Here's the basic steps to get WI-FI going:

Hit WINDOWS+B to get to the SYS Tray.

ARROW until you find something about networks are available, or no connection to network. Since I'm connected, it reports the network I'm connected to. Hit the applications key, or SHIFT+F10 should do it.

Select Open Internet Settings.


TAB until you find SHOW AVAILABLE NETWORKS.

You'll now find the networks you can connect to. Locate your network, and press ENTER.

The rest is easy to do. Just follow the prompts.

If you have any questions, send them on.

Kevin, Valerie and Jilly

Hank,
If using Windows 10 :
Go to "Settings"
Tab to "Network & Internet"
Tab to "Wi-Fi"
Tab to "Available Connections "
There you will need to select your router and enter information.

This section is accessible with JAWS.

Dan
PS You may have a shortcut to the Netowrk connections / wi fi in your
notification area.

You simply step through the standard setup under Settings, Network & Internet, WiFi Pane.  You'll probably activate the Show Available Networks link, choose the WiFi network you wish to connect to from that list, and you'll be prompted to enter the password/key for that WiFi network.

You can also go directly through the system tray.  WinKey+B, right arrow until you hit the item for Network & Internet access (and I cannot tell you exactly how that will be announced as it depends on whether you've got it in the overflow area or on the main system tray display and what you are, or are not, currently connected to), activating it, then down arrowing to the WiFi network you wish to connect to.  Activate that item and enter the necessary password/key information for the WiFi network and the checkbox for Connect automatically should be set as you see fit.

Sometimes Narrator sees buttons that JAWS doesn't. Also NVDA sometimes
