Well, since there is no talking, how do you know when the desktop is up? Would this just be a time estimate? I can probably do a windows I, and quickly get to update and security, because I have been there several times. But, after striking enter on update and security, how does one know where recovery is? Is it the last thing under update and security? I have no sound, along with having a defined amount of time, before the computer shuts down. Thanks. Neil

Hi Neal, If you are using W10 the only time my pc makes the windows sound is on restart. But from a cold start W10 does not make a sound. Just to let you know.

Hello Gang: I have a windows 10 laptop that has been working fine for almost two months. Yesterday, right after jaws came up, I heard a question similar to: "Hello, how do you like this picture. We will be sending you more, et cetra." Even though I do not sign in with a password, I was able to find the sign in button, and struck the space bar. However, the computer crashed. as in shut down. I thought it was automatically re-starting, for some unknown reason. Did a forced re-start. Heard similar info. Found sign in button. Space bar. Computer shut down. One of the times, I heard something about starting in the locked mode. Now, the computer starts normally, as it pertains to the sound and humming. However, there is no sound. Not even the windows start up sound. The computer automatically shuts down in about a minute and half, after I press the start button. Without sighted help how do I get it to start in safe mode? Since narrator has been so good in windows 10, will it allow me to do a system restore? Sighted help might arrive, sometime tomorrow. But, I was just wondering if I could do it using jaws and narrator. Thanks, and Merry Christmas. He is The Reason for the season.
