Interestingly enough I am experiencing the same problem on my Windows 10
computer that I upgraded from Windows 7. I have another computer still
using Windows 7 and the shortcut or hot key for Jaws still works. Below is
a work around I got from another list.
1. Do a windows+M key to go to the desktop
2. Hit the home key to go to the first icon on your desktop.
3. Hit the letter J and you should be on Jaws 16 if you have it
installed. If not then you should be on Jaws 17 if you do not have any other
icon starting with j. If you have Jaws 16 and Jaws 17 loaded then hit the j
twice to get to Jaws 17.
4. Hit enter key and Jaws will load.

I have the latest JAWS and have Windows 8.1.
This problem only started a couple of days ago and nothing had been
installed or deleted from the computer. The hot key had been working just
fine.
I had been on a website and I was trying to purchase something and it wasn't
working too well so I turned off JAWS with the insert+F4 and when I went to
use Control+Alt+j it wouldn't work. I did wait for several seconds and
nothing happened. I tried using the hot key again a few times and nothing.
I went to see if the hot key was still there and it's there. I've turned off
the computer and also restarted it but the hot key still doesn't work. If I
try to delete the hot key and re-enter it, for some reason I'm taken off the
JAWS screen and taken to the Desktop and I have to go back to JAWS in the
taskbar and no matter if I try and re-enter the hot key again, it still
takes me to the Desktop.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me please?
Thank you,
Melissa
