Hi guys, when this anniversary update comes out will we have a choice to update? Will it be automatic like all the other updates up until now? If it's a must and automatic update and it doesn't work properly with jaws or nvda what are we as the blind community to do?

It includes an improved Narrator, Cortana improvements, Edge extensions among other things. As far as accessibility is concerned, it includes a bit more responsive UI Automation. See this post from Win10 group: https://win10.groups.io/g/win10/thread/anniversary_update_updates/1997384?p= ,,,20,0,0,0::RecentPostDate%2FSticky,,anniversary+update,20,2,0,1997384 An item of note is Edge and UAC (User Account Control) dialog changes: Microsoft has changed certain technical information about Edge that'll take a while for Freedom Scientific (now part of VFO) to implement, and UAC is now powered by the same platform that powers universal apps. JAWS compatibility: I recommend waiting until at least 18 beta comes out this fall. Although Insiders who uses JFW report it is working to some extent, crashes were observed with Anniversary update preview builds for some, and upcoming JFW 18 would have resolved them by now (unfortunately, toasts are not announced in Windows 10 despite the fact that help balloon notification is checked under verbosity settings for each level). As far as universal apps are concerned, it's a mixed bag of accessibility, and use of touch cursor is a must. //JL -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Shane Hecker Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2016 9:39 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 10 redstone I'm guessing that'll be the anniversary update that is supposed to come out in July.
