Woe, woe, don't shoot the messenger, I was just sharing this setting with
the group.
1. First of all I have a second USB sound card, so I am not worried.
2. Second of all, I have always aloud my computer to download and install
driver updates automatically, no problems after many years of doing so.
3. Third of all, These updates for the apps and icons and maybe drivers,
come from the manufacture of your computer according to this setting, as far

Hi Group. A friend of Ed's show him this setting. I just changed this
setting for my W-10 computer. May work in older versions of the windows
operating systems, I have no way to check this out. This will allow your
computer to update apps and icons for your computer, maybe even drivers,
automatically.

1. Press the windows key, type device instillation.

2. press enter on, Change device instillation settings, control panel.

3. By default, it is set to the no radio button.

4. Up arrow to the yes, recommended radio button.

5. Tab to the save changes button, press enter.

6. Now Your computer should automatically download and install and update
your computer manufactures app and icons, and maybe drivers as well for your
computer model.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Device installation settings

[Jim]

Hi David, I apologize for saying, "shooting the messenger", you are correct,
it's OK to express any concerns about changing unfamiliar settings. I also
was not aware of this setting. From every thing that I have read on this
setting. If set to yes, your computer can get updated apps and icons, right
from your computer manufacturer, without you having to go and get them
manually from your manufacturers website. We all know what a pain in the
butt it can be at times to get the right driver and install it correctly on
your computer. Sorry if I caused any confusion about this setting. Smiles.

Obviously you have been using this practice for quite some time without
experiencing any negative results. Knowing you it is doubtful you would
share something like this unless you were confident in the results of the
procedure.

I don't believe anybody was to coin a phrase shooting the messenger, more
like expressing concerns. Everybody has their own comfort zone and it is
often difficult to try something new. Personally I did not even know that
this option was available, and I'm a guy who has spent many a day just
looking for drivers mostly in the XP days. That's why I have a database of
around 5 GB of drivers collected here and always looking for more of them.

Thanks for the information.

Hi,
Well to just let you know on that dialog box on the yes radio button it said
recommended which means Microsoft is recommending this setting be turned on
to Yes.
Just thought I would let you know.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Device installation settings

Hi Jim,

That's good because it ain't fun!  LOL  I've had it happen, but I was the 1 
doing the driver update, so since I knew what I had just done I was able to 
fix the problem without any guesswork.  If it would have happened as an 
automatic update, there's no telling how long it would have taken to find & 
resolve the problem.  I guess the quickest way to resolve such an issue 
would be a system restore, but I hope I don't have to find out.
Take care.

Well, you're possibly stuck without Jaws , or your screenreader of choice.
I'm by no means stating that this will happen, but I can't imagine the

As far as I know, no it is not a security risk. You are just giving the OK

Hi Group. A friend of Ed's show him this setting. I just changed this
setting for my W-10 computer. May work in older versions of the windows
operating systems, I have no way to check this out. This will allow your
computer to update apps and icons for your computer, maybe even drivers,
automatically.

1. Press the windows key, type device instillation.

2. press enter on, Change device instillation settings, control panel.

3. By default, it is set to the no radio button.

4. Up arrow to the yes, recommended radio button.

5. Tab to the save changes button, press enter.

6. Now Your computer should automatically download and install and update
your computer manufactures app and icons, and maybe drivers as well for your
computer model.

Hi Mike, I have never had that issue.

Personally I won't do this only because, for example, what happens if a
soundcard driver updates, & it screws up the way the soundcard was working? 
Well, you're possibly stuck without Jaws , or your screenreader of choice. 
I'm by no means stating that this will happen, but I can't imagine the
endless possibilities of what could happen, & with what apps/ drivers behind
the scenes leaving you sitting there wondering what the hell just happened!
Take care.

Isn't this a security risk? A quick Google search didn't give me a
definitive answer. One result, concerning Win10, seemed to confirm Jim's
conjecture that changing this setting also allows for updating drives and
even supplying missing ones. But I wish I had a clearer idea about any risks
involved.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Device installation settings

[Rick Justice]

Just a note on this:
Randomly updating device drivers is not a highly recommended practice,
especially if they are not from the original device manufacturer.
Updating device drivers is only recommended when it adds additional 
security, or fixes a specific problem.
Having said that,
they should be otherwise left as they are, since updating them can result in 
unexpected problems.

HTH,
Rick Justice
