Two tricks I have mentioned before are:
Press the insert f10 for list of active programs, find the one you want
and enter on it. JAWS often start talking again.
Another is to refresh with insert plus escape.

hello there;
the keystroke, windows-key+u=ease of access center,
not really sure how this solves the issue of jaws going silent.
unless your wanting to start narrator, with alt+n.
I find when the computer/jaws goes silent, there's almost nothing I can do.

What is windows key + u? I've never heard of that command.

Kim, when Jaws goes silent, try one of two things:
1. Restart Jaws with Insert-WindowsKey+F4 (takes a little time)
2. Press WindowsKey+U; close the window that had opened, after Jaws begins
talking.
HIH,

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 16 frequently goes silent
Recently I began consistently using jaws 16 and I'm seeing some odd
behavior which I wonder if anyone can confirm.
During remote sessions using VPN, jaws 16 frequently goes absolutely
silent for minutes at a time. Occasionally speech will return if I
wait long enough, but often I have to reboot the computer before I am
able to regain speech.
This same behavior would sometimes occur with older versions of jaws
(prior to jaws 15), but then it seemed to be fixed.
I work from home several days a week, signed on to my desktop at work
and these frequent silences are very disruptive, not to mention the
reboots. Has anyone else seen this behavior with jaws 16? I intended
to report it to FS, but I'm not sure even how to explain it since it
seems to happen randomly without regard to what application I may be
using at the time.
Thanks,
Kim
