Re: JFW 2022 and alt+tab
Curtis Chong
Greetings:
Are you holding down the Alt key when cycling through the windows? It is working for me on my Windows 10 system with JAWS 2022. Hold down alt and press tab repeatedly.
With warm regards,
Curtis Chong

Hi all, When I alt+tab it just toggles me back and forth between the same 2 windows. If I want it to rotate through the open windows I have to use alt+shift+tab. I seem to recall this feature was modified in an earlier version of JFW, but I can’t recall how to change it back.

Using Windows 10 Home, and Jaws 2022 alt+tab is working as it always has. If you do not release the alt key, it cycles through all open windows, when you release the keys, you land in whatever windows was spoken.

We're already six plus years in to the Windows 10 era, which itself will draw to a close in October 2025. If someone wants to use the Windows ecosystem then they must keep their version as an officially supported one, as the number of security patches that come out in any given year as nefarious players find ever-more-clever ways in, are numerous. Right now, for screen reader users, I'd stick with Windows 10. Give Windows 11 at least six months (next April) if not longer to get through its shake out period and to allow for the screen reader developers to get through that period as well. Attempting to continue using Windows 7 at this point in time is going to relegate your entire computing world into irrelevancy and inability to be updated. That process is already well underway. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 It is the function of creative men to perceive the relations between thoughts, or things, or forms of expression that may seem utterly different, and to be able to combine them into some new forms--the power to connect the seemingly unconnected. ~ William Plomer

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I was told that folks cannot renew their older version of Jaws, it's get the new version or nothing.

If it's the case that windows 7 & 8 users cannot use the yearly subscription of Jaws, then FS should make a free version of Jaws for older systems. That would be a good will gesture on their part, and they have to know that someday 7 & 8 will be as difficult to use on-line as XP is now, so they should not fear losing customers, unless they are just interested into bullying everyone into using newer windows so they can still selling yearly subscriptions.

You can still use a yearly subscription that will keep JAWS 2021 going for another year, you just won’t get the update to JAWS 2022.

So if you have only the yearly subscription, you are screwed as far as Jaws goes, because if you want to use a perfectly fine windows, your yearly subscription will stop working, and you cannot just get a new yearly subscription for your older windows.
