Hi Adrian, While before the latest update released on October 27 only Windows 10 beta versions displayed progress for each update separately and this was similar to Windows 7, the way used to get that information on W7 is not applicable to Windows 10 for a couple of reasons: 1. Windows 10 have neither the update progress icon on the System Tray or the Open Windows Update option in the Action Center context menu. 2. In Windows 10 the Windows Update functionality is witting the Settings app, which is an “Universal” app. Therefore, you can't use JAWS Cursor to review information. 3. In addition to the need of using Touch Cursor to get to the update progress information, for some kind of bug, unlike NVDA and even the Windows Narrator, JAWS does not read the progress information automatically as it changes, even when Progress Bar Announcement option is turned on. 4. Although this is not a percentage, in Windows 10, unlike 7, you never know which update related to the total is being downloaded or installed. As you know, Windows 7 display strings like “Downloading Name of the Update (update 2 of 9);” those strings, however, are not present in Windows 10.
