Good morning Jaws users list, I was finally able to get the refresh this PC, to work for me. I tried this feature out several times a year ago, I could not get it to work for me. But lo-and-behold, it worked this time. I chose to keep my files. So after waiting for 90 minutes or so, I was on the log-in screen. Of course the refresh feature removed more than 20 programs and apps on my computer including all Freedom Scientific products, all the Jaws versions, the F S reader and much more. The benefit of doing a refresh, it reloads the windows operating system files new and fresh. So I had to turn off all live tiles and remove them from start. I had to uninstall all unwanted apps. I had to turn off all the background apps that I did not want turned on. I had to install Jaws and put my authorization code back into the Jaws activate window. I had to download and set up my office 365 again, I had to set up my outlook 2016 email accounts again. LOL. But I believe this has fixed the issues I encountered after trying to manually update to the creators update and failing to do so. So hopefully with any luck, my computer will get updated to the creators update when it comes to my computer. I have learned my lesson, no more manually trying to update to the creators update, I will just wait. So if any of you decide to use this refresh your PC feature in W-10, know you will have to reinstall Jaws and much more. Read below and see what all was removed on my computer after I successfully completed the refresh my PC process.

So please be aware of this if you use the refresh feature. I think that this should fix all my issues I was having after the failed update to the creators update.
