[JAWS-Users] Windows 10 Adding Local Accounts

[Hicks Steven (ROYAL CORNWALL HOSPITALS NHS TRUST)]

Hi friends,

Does anyone know how to add an additional local user account in Windows 10 Home 
Premium?
I Have followed a instruction link on a Microsoft article and it says that in 
family, there is an option called sign in with a Windows account but there 
should also be a local account option.
I Can't find how to get to this, tried tabbing around and up and down arrows.
If I turn on the JAWS cursor, it just keeps saying blank and I can't read 
anything else on the screen, very strange!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Hot key to turn JAWS back on not working

[Greg Washington]

Interestingly enough I am experiencing the same problem on my Windows 10
computer that I upgraded from Windows 7.  I have another computer still
using Windows 7 and the shortcut or hot key for Jaws still works.  Below is
a work around I got from another list.

1.   Do a windows+M key to go to the desktop
2.   Hit the home key to go to the first icon on your desktop.
3.   Hit the letter J and you should be on Jaws 16 if you have it
installed. If not then you should be on Jaws 17 if you do not have any other
icon starting with j. If you have Jaws 16 and Jaws 17 loaded then hit the j
twice to get to Jaws 17.
4.   Hit enter key and Jaws will load.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Hot key to turn JAWS back on not working

I have the latest JAWS and have Windows 8.1.

 

This problem only started a couple of days ago and nothing had been
installed or deleted from the computer. The hot key had been working just
fine.

 

I had been on a website and I was trying to purchase something and it wasn't
working too well so I turned off JAWS with the insert+F4 and when I went to
use Control+Alt+j it wouldn't work. I did wait for several seconds and
nothing happened. I tried using the hot key again a few times and nothing.

 

I went to see if the hot key was still there and it's there. I've turned off
the computer and also restarted it but the hot key still doesn't work. If I
try to delete the hot key and re-enter it, for some reason I'm taken off the
JAWS screen and taken to the Desktop and I have to go back to JAWS in the
taskbar and no matter if I try and re-enter the hot key again, it still
takes me to the Desktop.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for me please?

 

Thank you,

Melissa

[Janine Smith]

Hi Greg and Melissa

I have had Jaws not responding when I have had to bring Jaws back. I have used 
the J and enter and that works best. After several frustrating days  my local 
dealer passed on the problem to Freedom Scientific and hello, it is a known 
issue and it is being worked on. Known to Freedom but I only discovered it on 
Sunday, your Saturday. Regards Janine

Re: [JAWS-Users] Hot key to turn JAWS back on not working

[Lenny McHugh]

this also works on a win 7 machine. However it then brings up jaws 16. So if 
you want 17 and 16 is on your system. use the windows key and the letter J. 
Then down arrow once and enter. This will bring up jaws 17.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Hot key to turn JAWS back on not working

[Shai]

Hi,
Technical Support states that the hot key not starting JAWS is a
documented issue and they are working on it. I am also having the
issue you describe with starting JAWS on Windows10.
Another means of restarting JAWS after turning it off for now is to go
to the run menu with windows plus r and press the backspace key once
or twice to clear any information that has been typed previously. Then
type jaws17 in lowercase and without any spaces and press enter. This
should start the program.
Hope that helps

Interestingly enough I am experiencing the same problem on my Windows 10
computer that I upgraded from Windows 7.  I have another computer still
using Windows 7 and the shortcut or hot key for Jaws still works.  Below is
a work around I got from another list.

1.   Do a windows+M key to go to the desktop
2.   Hit the home key to go to the first icon on your desktop.
3.   Hit the letter J and you should be on Jaws 16 if you have it
installed. If not then you should be on Jaws 17 if you do not have any other
icon starting with j. If you have Jaws 16 and Jaws 17 loaded then hit the j
twice to get to Jaws 17.
4.   Hit enter key and Jaws will load.

I have the latest JAWS and have Windows 8.1.

 

This problem only started a couple of days ago and nothing had been
installed or deleted from the computer. The hot key had been working just
fine.

 

I had been on a website and I was trying to purchase something and it wasn't
working too well so I turned off JAWS with the insert+F4 and when I went to
use Control+Alt+j it wouldn't work. I did wait for several seconds and
nothing happened. I tried using the hot key again a few times and nothing.

 

I went to see if the hot key was still there and it's there. I've turned off
the computer and also restarted it but the hot key still doesn't work. If I
try to delete the hot key and re-enter it, for some reason I'm taken off the
JAWS screen and taken to the Desktop and I have to go back to JAWS in the
taskbar and no matter if I try and re-enter the hot key again, it still
takes me to the Desktop.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for me please?

 

Thank you,

Melissa
