Hi Reed, thanks for letting me know. Same here in the Creators update. In this 
"OverlayWindow0, I tried the Jaws cursor, the touch cursor, but it seems like a 
phantom window. No way that I see to interact with this window. I will leave 
this up to the smart computer technicians. After all I am just a pinhead. LOL.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] OverlayWindow0 On Top

Hello,

 

With Windows Version 10.0.14393, when I hit Insert+F10 to show "window list", I 
am now seeing this "OverlayWindow0 On Top" that I've never seen before.  

I have seen it just after boot up, after loading Outlook and at other random 
times.

When I hit Enter to open it and hit Insert+Q twice quickly, it tells me "JAWS 
for Windows settings are used in the jfw.exe application. The configuration 
name is JAWS Window. The current scheme is Classic."

 

When I hit Insert+F1, I get "JAWS may not recognize this control. To show JAWS 
what type of control it is, press Insert+7. To see more technical information 
on the control, press Control+Insert+F1."

 

When I hit Control+Insert+F1, I get,

"Window Technical Information:

Control ID  0

Class  OverlayWindowClass_F7A740FA-AB45-4F46-BB58-3DCEDB196F1C

Handle  983746".

So, it shows the Control Id, Class and Handle.  Try saying that Class real 
fast.  Bet you can't.

 

When I use Alt+Tab to cycle through my open programs, I don't land on this 
Overlay Window; even when I've opened it from the window list.

 

Do any of you JAWS experts have an explanation for this Overlay window?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Reed
