I've noticed, that from time to time, like right now, I can't alt tab through the different application on the task bar, like if I have 8 open, I can only see one or two. Is there an overlay or something, why is this happening, and how do I fix it? Justin For answers to frequently asked

The reason why you're hearing, desktop one, instead of just desktop, is because windows 10 has the ability to create secondary desktops, called virtual desktops. For fun, press control windows |D, then press insert T, you will hear, desktop 2. You can move between desktops with control windows

Like, what I meant to say is that the windows tab button works for me, but I still can't get alt tab to go through all the windows, so I'll probably have to reboot. Though, I'm going to try refreshing jaws and unloading and reloading jaws. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List
