Ah, on tom’s IE11 problem, there may be a reason for the difference, but I haven’t checked with him, now that he’s solved it. I’m wondering if he has a Windows Home system. Mine is Windows Pro. A techy told me today that the solution I posted works for Pro but not very long for Home. For some reason, MS has trickier ways of infiltrating the insidious win10 notification into Windows Home systems.

For one thing I want nothing to do with Chrome at this time, so that's not a factor with me. I'm just simply amazed at the level of such differing situations, such as the horrible time Tom Beller has had with IE 11.

For example, if I press the alt key to bring up the file menus, only “file” and “help” are available. With the JAWS cursor, I know edit, favorites, etc., are there, but I can’t access them. I can get to favorites with alt-a. Here again, however, I encounter this weird binary situation where only two “favorites” are available to me. I’m having a similar experience with Chrome with the right-mouse-click menu on links. (this undoubtedly explains the problem I had yesterday following Brian’s suggestion for handling PDF files in Chrome.) I say this all occurred after I installed the current JAWS 17 release, but I’m not sure it’s the cause. I’m pretty sure I went into IE after installing the update and initially had no problems. I also found this morning that JAWS wasn’t reading character-by-character in Word 2010. Fortunately, I fixed this problem by a combination of Office 2010 repair and a JAWS repair using the .exe file for the current release. However, these fixes made no difference to IE. For the record, I also ran a Malwarebytes scan, and no problems were detected. Also, I’ve had no Windows updates in the past two days. I lean toward thinking this is a JAWS problem. Has anyone experienced it and, if so, did you find a fix?
