Hi ET,
I just checked in the Apple menu and the Mojave update is still there
waiting to be installed. And the 3 updates in the App Store are still
there as well. Never mind, at least it is working again now.

Go into the app store, updates and check history to see what all
came down the pipe. Could also check macS from the Apple menu, about
my mac (I think it will tell when it was updated).

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the reply, you could be right as I’m a beginner. I think I
tried all of those suggestions, and I have automatic updates turned
off. But at least it is working again now.
I’m glad I check the auto correct as I almost called you time.

Hi,
It sounds like it was doing a big update and you just happened to
open your laptop in the middle of the process. If it was the Mojave
update, then, yes, it was a big one. When this sort of thing
happens, Siri will be ineffectual. Try turning on VO the old
fashioned way. If I recall correctly, you have a unit with the
TouchBar. So, to turn on VO, hold down the cmd-key and press the
finger-print sensor/power button three times quickly. If the Mac is
busy, VO may take five seconds or so to turn itself on. If it's
quiet, then regular volume up actions may not work, use VO along
with the plus sign to increase volume.
Later...

Hi all,
Not sure if any one can give me a possible explanation for this as
I can’t really give you much information. I opened the screen to my
MacBook this morning and was faced with silence. I asked Siri to
turn voice over off and back on again that didn’t help. Anything I
pressed on the keyboard came back with a donk noise. I got my iPhone
and opened Seeing AI and pointed it at the screen, the main menu was
on the screen and seeing AI told me there was 3 new updates in the
App Store. My Mac remained silent for about 10 minutes and suddenly
I was able to log in and now it is back to normal. I did go into the
App Store to install the updates and it asked me for my Apple ID
password that it normally doesn’t do. So I am suspecting the Mac was
performing some function that it didn’t want me to over ride. And I
suspect it had something to do with the updates?
Now I enjoy the song “the sound of silence” but not on my Mac.
Sorry for the long email.
