Hello JAWS users, I installed JAWS on a Windows 10 machine today at work. The process was mostly accessible. I invoked Microsoft Narrator, which I hadn't used before, and managed to use it to run Internet Explorer, download the latest JAWS 17 release, and start the installation. I switched off Narrator as soon as I started the JAWS installation, so I didn't discover without help that, while installing, the system had switched to the lock screen. Also, after the reboot required as part of the installation process, I was again at the lock screen and needed to supply credentials. It's possible that Narrator would have worked at the lock screen after the reboot, but I didn't test it in that situation. There was no beep or other auditory cue to indicate that the system had rebooted successfully.
Now to the inevitable questions. Where would I find the best description currently on offer of the Windows 10 desktop and start menu? I also noticed that Alt-Tab only cycled through the two most recently opened windows. Have others experienced this result, and if so, is there a solution or alternative if you want to switch between any of your open windows/applications? I installed Firefox and configured it as the default browser. Since Microsoft Office is installed, I set Outlook as the default e-mail application. I expect to have more issues and questions as I try to turn this system into an effective work environment. However, I'll try to repay any advice by helping others on this and other lists as I try to do whenever I have knowledge or insight to share.
