For the record, this latest process today took maybe a quarter of an hour. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jim Pursley Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2016 6:25 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] checking for updates is stuck in windows 8.1 Needs to run about 24 hours.

Re: [JAWS-Users] checking for updates is stuck in windows 8.1
I just installed the current Windows Updates with no problem. I'm using Windows 7, so I'm not sure this will help Anna's 8.1 system, but maybe the approach is similar. Or maybe this won't help at all. At any rate: In recent months, I've found that accessing Windows Updates via the system tray has changed. I must locate the windows Updates within the system tray, then press enter. Nothing happens, so I tab twice. Now I'm in a list that's similar to the system tray list, but now it's presented as a series of buttons. I arrow down to the Windows Updates button and once again press enter. Now at last, the updates function starts working. You can check the update and installation process by pressing JAWS key+tab. Sometimes, I completely lose the updates window, which means I need to go back into the system tray and repeat the tabbing process. In this instance, once windows Updates had finished installing an update, nothing happened. I went back into the system tray to find that another update was waiting. So I repeated the process. Finally, I got the restart button. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Annette Carr Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2016 6:13 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] checking for updates is stuck in windows 8.1 I cannot get my Windows7 machine to get past checking for updates, or downloading a silver Lite update.

Needs to run about 24 hours. Try that. You and a lot of others are having this problem, not just you. Punishment for not having Win10? You might call the Microsoft Accessibility desk at 800-936-5900.
