Since I first got Jaws in 98, Jaws 2.0, There has been within the program, the ability to set up in Jaws properties, to set up a short cut key. One can set up an alternative screen reader, to get one on the desk top. As was said in the post below. Then, turn it off. Once Jaws begins working. That way, should Jaws not work, for some reason. One can get it up and working once more. Using the alternative screen reader. Which is why, I don’t agree with the idea the alternate screen reader ought be set up to close. Once the desk top shows itself. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Sure; even going back as far as Windows 98 sometimes you would hear a shutdown sound but the PC still would not shut down. The sound is just one thing in a series of tasks executed when one performs a shutdown.

And Narrator comes up immediately with the Control-Windows key-Enter command. There is no delay like there is with NVDA or JAWS. And it can be closed with this same keystroke,unlike JAWS and NVDA, which require multiple keystrokes to close. And there are times when when neither JAWS nor NVDA will speak due to some technical glitch, but because Narrator is built into the operating system, it will almost always work. So setting it so that it can be used to only announce log on and log off is not a good idea, in my humble opinion. Sorry if I came on too strongly in my previous message.

Unfortunately, there is no shutdown sound in Windows 10. Hacking
the registry to produce logoff or shutdown sounds is a bad idea, no
matter what the other "experts" on this list may tell you to the
contrary. The bottom line is that hacking the registry can often
produce unwanted or unpredictable results. If you want to be sure
that your computer has completely powered off after you initiate a
shutdown, I suggest purchasing a small USB-powered cooling fan and
connecting it to a front or rear panel USB port. When the computer
powers off, the fan will stop spinning. Simple as that.

Subject: Re: Logon, logoff and shutdown sound for Windows 10
Unfortunately, there is no shutdown sound in Windows 10. Hacking the registry to produce logoff or shutdown sounds is a bad idea, no matter what the other "experts" on this list may tell you to the contrary. The bottom line is that hacking the registry can often produce unwanted or unpredictable results. If you want to be sure that your computer has completely powered off after you initiate a shutdown, I suggest purchasing a small USB-powered cooling fan and connecting it to a front or rear panel USB port. When the computer powers off, the fan will stop spinning. Simple as that.

“System Exit” is the event associated with shutdown.
“Windows logoff” is associated with signing off to log on as a

Hi Bill,
I downloaded the file containing the scripts you mentioned and unzipped it.
The unzip procedure creates three folders each containing 2 files.
What is the difference between “System Exit” and Windows logoff”?
Have you tried this technique and did it work?

Hi. I tried to send this message to the JAWS list before, but it
hasn't shown up in the last 27 minutes, so I am sending it again,
in hopes that it will get through this time.
In case someone cannot find this page on Ehow, I am including the

events back to the Sound settings without having to manually edit the registry.

How stupid is that? If JAWS stops speaking for some reason, then you won't be able to toggle on Narrator to troubleshoot the problem.

Hi Bill,
I downloaded the file containing the scripts you mentioned and unzipped it.
The unzip procedure creates three folders each containing 2 files.
What is the difference between “System Exit” and Windows logoff”?
Have you tried this technique and did it work?
Thanks

And even in Windows 7 I had situations where the shut-down sound played and then one of my sighted employees or my wife said the computer had not powered down because of some message which Jaws didn't read any more.
But adding it to Windows 10 as an elevated task as I described in my other email does work well and it's better than nothing.

I am not sure why Jaws should have a Windows shut-down event sound.
Enabling the Windows shut-down sound is certainly possible, I used the method Brian Vogel posted on the Windows 10 list before and I pasted the steps below.
Note that your issue may simply be the fact that you have fast startup enabled, the Windows shut-down sound will not work or at best work unreliably if fast startup is enabled.
Play Sound at Shutdown in Windows 10
Starting in Windows 8, the Windows Shutdown sound event has been disabled. This leaves you unable to change or play the Windows Shutdown sound when a user selects to shut down the PC in Windows 10. As a workaround,
you can still create an elevated task to play a sound at shutdown Windows 10.
This tutorial will show you how to play a sound at shutdown for all users in Windows 10.
You must be signed in as an administrator to create an elevated task. Here's How:
1. Press the Win+R keys to open Run, type taskschd.msc into Run, and click/tap on OK to open Task Scheduler.
2. Click/tap on Task Scheduler Library in the left pane of Task Scheduler, and click/tap on Create Task in the right Actions pane.
3. In the General tab, type a name (ex: "Play shutdown sound") you want for this task.
4. In the General tab, select Run whether user is logged on or not.
5. In the General tab, check the Run with highest privileges box.
6. In the General tab, select Windows 10 in the Configure for drop down.
7. Click/tap on the Triggers tab, and click/tap on the New button.
8. Perform the actions below:
A) Select "On an event" in the Begin the task drop down.
B) Select "System" in the Log drop down.
C) Type "1074" (user initiated shutdown) in the Event ID drop down, and click/tap on OK.
9. Click/tap on the Actions tab, and click/tap on the New button.
10. Perform the actions below:
A) Select Start a program in the Action drop down.
B) Type "PowerShell" in the Program/script field box.
C) Enter the command below into the Add arguments field box, and click/tap on OK.
-c (New-Object Media.SoundPlayer 'C:\Windows\Media\Windows Shutdown.wav').PlaySync();
Note: If you wanted to play a sound (.wav file) of your choice instead, you can substitute C:\Windows\Media\Windows Shutdown.wav in the command above with the full path of the .wav file you want to be played.
11. Click/tap on the Conditions tab, uncheck the "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power" and click/tap on OK.
12. You will be prompted to enter your account's password, do so and click/tap on OK.
The "Play Shutdown Sound" task is now finished, and will now play a sound when the PC is shutdown.
