This is Not a Internet Explorer issue. I am running latest Jaws 18, the Creators update, office 365, current updates to all. I am having no issues.

I finally pretty much switched 100% to firefox and now everything works like a charm. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2017 4:07 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing Just to add to this, I have the same issue with Jaws 16 through 18 on a Win 7 Ultimate system. It invariably seems to correlate to the use of IE 11. It is not duplicatable, but it does happen with enough consistency that there's got to be a bug somewhere in the program. When it happens, if I can get Jaws to stumble-and-bumble to the process manager, I can close IE and reload Jaws. Oftentimes, Jaws is so sluggish i.e. not quite non-responsive -- that I end up loading System Access to go and close IE11 and Jaws. Then, I can re-load Jaws and its happy. If I use a competitive screen-reader, I've not encountered these issues.
