"... you need to check: Settings, System, Multitasking Pane and check to see what the dropdown for Pressing ALT + Tab shows, is set to. If you want conventional "old Windows" movement between open windows then you need to select, Open windows only, from the dropdown."

Yesterday, Brian Vogel answered that question on this list. You can also get to the place he mentions by opening the search by tapping the Windows key and typing alt-tab and arrow down a couple of times…

Re: Braille problem
Michael Munn
The problem is now solved regarding braille display displaying only in Grade one code in Microsoft Word. Thanks to all of you for the help. I really appreciate it. What I end up doing is having her Jaws configuration pasted into my Explorer My settings folder, then I use the first letter navigation key to find Word.JCF to open the settings center directly, I then press b until I find braille, then translation. It turns out that she had her output set to Chinese braille code and her input is in U.S Grade One . Now everything has straightened and thank you once again for the tip. best regards Michael H. Munn Member: Georgia Association of Blind Students National Federation of the Blind of Georgia Member: National association of Blind Students National Federation of the Blind Student of: Hadley Institute of the Blind
In Microsoft Word, use Insert+V for Quick Settings and check the translation table options.

Re: windows 10 update 21h1
Richard Turner <richardturner42@...>
Thanks to whomever it was that mentioned the settings for alt-tab in Windows 10! Mine was set to show the last 5 windows opened in Edge. I’m not sure who the heck thought that was a good idea, but I set it to Open Windows Only, and set it to show only the windows in the desktop I’m using. It is operating much more smoothly now. I can have multiple windows open and alt-tab to whichever one I want and nothing weird so far is happening; other than it working 😊.

Hi Juan/all, All I can say is that alt-tab will either not move me at all to another window, or simply not keep more than two, if it even does so. But I still get on ok. Nothing to suggest. Take care, Takis

Hi All,
This is regarding the latest windows 10 update, 21h1.
Have you noticed that your alt+tabbing has become weird? I have noticed now that when I alt tab around, I often land on something that is fully quiet and Jaws doesn’t read anything. I either have to keep hitting alt+tab, or something else like windows key to get out of it. Also, the title bars of my windows aren’t reading correctly everytime.
If anyone has any tips on this new windows 10 experience with alt+tab please let me know
Best,
Juan

Hello Kevin,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
WCAG is technology agnostic so the guidelines should still work for application accessibilty. But for more specific questions you should look at either the web-aim or bats mailing list. Aim is run by u. of Utah and talks about general accessibility issues and the blind bats list is a Google Groups list that discusses techniques that blind people use while testing accessibility Jonathan .

Thanks for the posts on this subject. I got a new laptop last week. After everything was updated I started having these same issues. I thought there was something on the new laptop I needed to change, or my old brain was going nuts. I haven’t any clue as to what has caused the problem, but at least I now know I’m not alone or going nuts. And I’ve still got my old laptop for when things get too crazy.

I had this same issue today, I’m also having issues with my braille display but I won’t get into that since that would be off-topic. I’m just glad I have 2 other screen readers that I can turn on when I have issues with Jaws. Hopefully someone has a solution, or better yet this will be fixed in the next Jaws update whenever that gets released.
