Hi, Richard.

 

To enable Fast Startup, do the following:

 

1. Access Windows 10 Power Options. This can easily be achieved using several methods:

a. Right click in the lower left corner of the screen (or simultaneously press the Windows + X keys). This will bring up an 'Admin' menu. Simply select Power Options from that menu.

 

b. From within the Desktop; navigate to Control Panel>Power Options. Or

c. From within the Start Screen; type "power", click on Settings, and select Power Options from the list of results:

 

2. In the 'Power Options' window; click on Choose what the power buttons do (from the left hand panel):

 

3. In the new window; click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.

 

4. Check Fast Startup.

I recently got a message that there is an update to Thunderbird, but
someone on this ML mentioned that maybe it's not something to do. I'm
wondering if I should or not. I'm currently using 68.3.1 and am
concerned because it mentions it includes some important security
updates but am also concerned about screen reader accessibility and
being able to continue to use TB. what do those using TB think I should do?

Hi!

I am using JAWS 2019 and Windows 10.  Previously, with FS in “Tandem,” I got to the checkbox for “Fast Start” and unchecked that option.  Now, I want to get back to it and check it (i.e., turn it on).  But, I cannot figure out how to get back to it.  So, how do you get to the “Fast Start” option?

Thanks,

Richard

No idea.  I'd probably call tech support if I were in that position.

Hi all, I am running, jaws 2020, on a windows ten computer.

I posted this earlier, but am doing it again, because I didn’t explain myself well.

Every time, I boot up my computer, I get this message.

The freedom scientific display driver did not install properly. To fix this, then, it wants me to repair the problem. But, when I try to repair the video display driver, I get a message that the repair has failed. And when I try to repair jaws 2020, I get a message that the jaws 2020 repair has failed. How can I repair both these issues? Thanks for your help here. Jim

Well, that is truly the first time I heard that disabling fast startup has these effects, many tech savvy people are quite agreed upon the fact that if there are issues it may be fast startup which causes them.

I prefer to have my computers boot from scratch and to “truly” shut down when I shut them down, also I like to hear the Windows Startup sound when I turn on my PC and you won’t hear it if fast startup is enabled or at least you hear it very inconsistently. Furthermore, all my computers have solid state drives and with fast startup they boot maybe 2 or 3 seconds faster so the time-saving reason of fast startup is pretty irrelevant for me.

Here is a good article which is pretty neutral as to the Pros and Cons:

It made the start up issue for Jaws even worse and then Jaws would respond sluggishly for quite a bit. Turning off fast start up can affect many programs.

Yes, I got the same answer turn off fast start up. That made no difference and in fact made things worse. I turned it back on

Hi Joe!

 

Well, I have turned off “fast startup” but that has not fixed it.  This was suggested by FS.

 

Thanks,

Hi Richard,

I have this problem as well running Jaws 2020 and Windows 10 Pro the in the latest version of the operating system.  I had been using only Jaws at start but when I use Zoom Text  as well Jaws started  after signing in.  This makes me think there is a problem at start up and the additional time required to start Zoom Text or Fusion allows for Jaws to start up properly.

Hi!

 

I am using JAWS 2019 under Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, all updated.  After signing-in, JAWS does not start.  My laptop has two user accounts: Admin and Visitor.  Both are password protected.  I have set JAWS to always start at the logon screen (a.k.a., sign-in screen), and it does.  But, after sign-in JAWS does not start.  This is despite having both the Admin and Visitor accounts set to “always” start after login.

 

I have fiddled with this a lot but I cannot get it to work.  “Fast startup” is off.  I have tried many different settings under the JAWS Options > Basics > Automatically Start JAWS Settings screen, but nothing works.

 

Does anyone else have this problem?  Has anyone solved this?

 

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Jason, thanks for your input. I will also be calling tech support because perhaps when they actually hear the lag we’ll be able to resolve the issue. Norma

I haven’t encountered this issue at all. I’m running JAWS 2020 with the latest Outlook for Office 365 under Windows 10. It might be worth checking whether other people with exactly the same software versions as yours are experiencing the problem. Also, if you think you might be able to upgrade out of it, I would suggest trying to upgrade whatever relevant software you can.

I turned off the reading pane and a couple other things. Seems to help with arrowing through a message list. However, the lag for Jaws responding and my ability to type in the body of a reply message is even worse, probably around 7-8 seconds this time. I do appreciate the reminder about the pane, I wish the settings would just stay but evidently MS doesn’t think that is a priority. Bummer.

Have you tried turning off the preview pane in Outlook?

Hi group,

As I await a response from Vispero support, I’m wondering if anyone is experiencing the following:

I have noticed that the lag while using Outlook 365 with Jaws 2020 is even worse than with Jaws 2019. Arrowing through a message list, Jaws simply stops speaking. I can read the title of the window but that’s it. Then after 3-4 seconds I am able to proceed normally through the list. And it takes about 5 seconds before I can type a reply to a message.

A few months ago I asked about this lag while in a Outlook webinar with the Microsoft accessibility group. They acknowledged the problem but that was about all they said. I can hardly wait to see what Vispero’s take is.

Helpful feedback welcome.

Norma

Hi,
Another quick way to get to the Sort submenu is to hit your applications key, and then the letter O. You can then up/down arrow to A to Z, Z to A, etc, and hit enter on the way you want to sort.
