On the Windows 10 laptop that I'm using, under Action Center, there is an
"Airplane Mode" check box, which JAWS presents as checked even though it is
not. Checking it disables wireless (as it's supposed to do) but without
notifying the JAWS user of the change.

I suspect it's a Microsoft bug, with the state change not being reflected in
the accessibility API that JAWS is relying on, but that's just an informed
guess. I don't have the right tools with which to find out. They're probably
using UI Automation, which is Microsoft's current solution for making Windows
and applications accessible to screen readers.

Has anyone else here seen this issue? If necessary, I can write a bug report
and send it to either Freedom Scientific or Microsoft.
