I also am experiencing what seems to be the same problem, a lack of JAWS speech at logon. I am running Windows 10 and JAWS 17, final public release version. On this new Asus laptop, it seems that if I do a complete shut-down command, JAWS does not speak the first time I try to boot. I have found that if I do a hard boot after the first failed boot, JAWS does come up at the password field as it should. I did not have this problem with my old laptop that I had been using up until a week or two ago. That machine was also running final JAWS 17 release version, but under a Windows 7 Pro 32 bit HP laptop. I will play around with this new issue and see if I can find a solution, or at least an identifiable problem. I will also have a working set of eyes check out the screen when I do my first boot of the day; it seems to be a morning thing with this new machine.
Doing an extra reboot is not a big deal of course, so long as JAWS continues to come up talking after the second boot!

I vaguely remember having a situation years ago where JAWS didn't speak at the password field. My workaround was to count the seconds from a certain recognizable point in the reboot process, perhaps a certain click or just a pause in the grinding. One option is always to do a JAWS repair. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Prewitt Sent: Friday, February 17, 2017 9:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Not Starting At Logon Screen Windows 7 Pro Hi Everyone, Someone at my work doesn't hear JAWS at the logon screen in Windows 7 Pro. She logged out successfully yesterday. However, when she went to login today, there was no speech. The cursor was in the password field when I sat down at her computer. Once I logged her in, JAWS started up. I checked the automatic settings for JAWS, and it is set to "Automatically start JAWS at the Logon Screen." She is using the latest build of JAWS 17 64-bit. Any ideas as to why JAWS wasn't running?
