Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message, Possible Fix
Hi Sharon, Well, I went to check my Windows 10computer, and I don't have that showing any more either! LOL Beats the heck out of me where it went, but below are the steps I used to make Jaws report the safe to remove message. I know the steps below work in Windows 10 Pro, but I don't know if they'll work in other versions of Windows 10. Thanks again to, Fernando, for the steps below: From: Fernando Gregoire Hi Mike and all, If the confirmation message appears on the screen but JAWS is not saying it, perhaps it's helpful to know that in Windows 10 balloons was replaced with toasts, which like notifications in the Action Center are handled by the ShellExperienceHost process, too unstable like most UWP apps and areas, unfortunately increasing. JAWS 17 and newer have a verbosity setting concerning Windows 10 notifications, but it is not as accurate as balloon reading, which was being developed since Windows XP. If you have Windows 10 Pro, there's a group policy which allows to use balloons instead of new toast notifications. Try the steps below: 1. Press WINDOWS+R, type the following and then press ENTER: gpedit.msc 2. In the Tree view arrow down to, User Configuration, right arrow to open, down arrow to, Administrative Templates, right arrow to open, down arrow to, Start Menu and Taskbar. 3. When you reach Start Menu and Taskbar, tab to the list view. In the list view, find the following policy: Disable showing balloon notifications as toasts 4. Press ENTER to open the properties of this policy, tab to the group of radio buttons and change from, Not Configured, to, Enabled, tab to, Okay, and press enter. 5. When finished, restart the computer for this change to take effect. By the way, File Explorer and other system and third-party apps which previously shown balloons will do that exactly as in prior Windows versions, including JAWS ability to simulate a left mouse click. Hope it helps!

Hi Mike, I'm glad this worked for you. It would be nice to know the exact Registry key created or modified by this policy, to make this change on Windows 10 Home Edition, which unlike more advanced ones, does not have the Group Policy Editor.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message
Not sure what version of Jaws you're running, but using Windows 10, version 1709 and the latest version of Jaws 2018, I always get the announcement the drive is safe to remove. Not sure if verbosity settings would affect receiving this message, but my computer is over 12 years old, and if I'm still getting the safe to remove message, with my verbosity levels set to medium, then everyone else's should be getting it too, but again, I don't know what's it's like for advanced verbosity users, so take what i said with a grain of salt. It could also be that you're interrupting speech before you can hear the message, because, as I said, I always get it, without fail.

I'm running Windows 10, 1803, with JAWS 2018, May update. I recently noticed that when I go to the system tray to remove a drive, I no longer receive the message that it's safe to remove the drive. Another friend called me yesterday with the same issue. I just assume that it's safe. If I go back to the system tray before removing the drive, the option to remove it shows as unavailable, as it should. I don't know how to capture or replay those fleeting messages with JAWS. If I virtualize the window, JAWS says there's no text. I haven't had a sighted person look at the screen. I can use the context menu on the drive, but again, I get no spoken message. On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the system tray after JAWS was shut down and restarted? Shouldn't JAWS be removed if it's shut down. This happens with both insert-f4 and insert-windows-f4. Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word. If I shut JAWS down and bring it back, the menu reads as it should. I much prefer running JAWS from the system tray, so that it won't be in the alt-tab line up. Sorry I don't have an answer for you, and maybe a lot of us, about disappeared messages. Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message
Hi David, I'm playing a spoken notification sound that Rick made for another operating system playing, but if Jaws reported the message I would still hear Jaws reporting. Although Jaws doesn't report, the process is completed, and you can tell because the Safely Remove icon disappears from the system tray and the particular drive disappears from the list of drives.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message
I have all icons set to display in the system tray. The safely remove hardware and eject media is always there, whether I have a drive inserted or not. And Adrian, I turned JAWS off from the system tray, and then turned it back on. All the extra JAWS icons disappeared. I did try several of the icons, and they all were active, allowing me to exit JAWS. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

If you're only running 1 external drive, after you choose it from the Safely Remove icon, and Jaws doesn't report it to be safe to remove, look in, Computer, and if you don't see it in the drive list it's safe to remove.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message
Hi Rebecca, Thank you for your reply. Would you try the steps below to see if they'll work for you? Okay, by doing the following Jaws will report the safe to remove message, although not consistently. I knew I had a note about this somewhere because this also happens in Widows 7, and this is how I fixed it: 1. Windows key + I, to open Settings, Navigate to Personalization, and press enter. 2. Go to, Taskbar, press enter, tab to, Notification Area, Select which icons appear on the taskbar Link, and press enter. 3. Tab to, Windows host process (Rundll32) Button, press the spacebar to check this option, and you should now hear Jaws report it's safe to remove after pressing enter on a drive from the Safely Remove Hardware icon.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message
I have the same configuration as Rebecca. This week I had a similar issue with a 16gb SD card. I heard a message about damage but it always disappeared before I could get to it It still worked in my Victor Stream but when I put it back in the reader I received the same damage message and could not access it to tell Windows to fix it. This time I went to This Computer and entered on the drive letter and it showed NO files & I knew I had 2 books on there. Finally, today, in frustration, I went by & picked up another SD card and it works fine for now, transferred 2 new biographies onto it and they are reading fine. I am going to try to choose the format option on the old SD card and see if I get the card back and can use it for a backup. George A.

On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the system tray after JAWS was shut down and restarted? Shouldn't JAWS be removed if it's shut down. This happens with both insert-f4 and insert-windows-f4. Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word. If I shut JAWS down and bring it back, the menu reads as it should. I much prefer running JAWS from the system tray, so that it won't be in the alt-tab line up. Sorry I don't have an answer for you, and maybe a lot of us, about disappeared messages. Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message
Hello Mike. I'm running Windows 10, 1803, with JAWS 2018, May update. I recently noticed that when I go to the system tray to remove a drive, I no longer receive the message that it's safe to remove the drive. Another friend called me yesterday with the same issue. I just assume that it's safe. If I go back to the system tray before removing the drive, the option to remove it shows as unavailable, as it should. I don't know how to capture or replay those fleeting messages with JAWS. If I virtualize the window, JAWS says there's no text. I haven't had a sighted person look at the screen. I can use the context menu on the drive, but again, I get no spoken message. On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the system tray after JAWS was shut down and restarted? Shouldn't JAWS be removed if it's shut down. This happens with both insert-f4 and insert-windows-f4. Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word. If I shut JAWS down and bring it back, the menu reads as it should.

Mike: Did this start to happen after doing any kind of update? That way, I can be on the lookout for it. -Original Message- From: Mike B.

Go to, Taskbar, press enter, tab to, Notification Area, Select which icons appear on the taskbar Link, and press enter. 3. Tab to, Windows host process (Rundll32) Button, press the spacebar to check this option, and you should now hear Jaws report it's safe to remove after pressing enter on a drive from the Safely Remove Hardware icon.

Do you hear a double tone after hitting the safely remove hardware icon? If so then I believe it is safe to go ahead and eject the drive. -Original Message- From: Mike B.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message
Mike, just a thought. Before going to the system tray, do you close the window displaying that drive's contents? Then does the confirmation show up in the system tray? A related point: My tech consultant says that removing an item, such as an SD card, can be done safely so long as the window is closed. He'd say, then, that even if you aren't getting that reassuring confirmation, you'll be okay. Even so, I admit I take the extra precaution of getting system tray confirmation. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Mike B.
