Rod, Regarding the action center, I just went there and immediately pressed Windows-M. My focus was then on the desktop with no lock ups. Are you running a stock Windows 10 build, or have you tried the latest Insider build 10547?

Admittedly, since switching to Microsoft Security Essentials on my Windows 7 64 bit system and now Windows Defender on my Windows 10 64 bit system, I haven't seen any lockups of speech, at least not out of the blue without my touching my keyboard. One thing I have noticed on my Windows 10 system is when I am in the Action center portion of the notification area and I press Windows-M to attempt to go to my desktop icons, it is common for WE to lockup, requiring me to press Control-Alt-W to reload, and this can take a good few seconds before WE comes back. To avoid this problem, I now tab out of the Action Center to go to the icons. Also, I did notice the other day that when my wireless keyboard loss battery power, WE locked up and this was simply due to my trying to press keys. When I put the new batteries into the keyboard and press Control-Alt-W, WE came back, but isn't it interesting that this would cause a speech lockup? I hope this helps, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+rod_hutton=hotmail....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Rick Thomas via Talk Sent: October 2, 2015 7:19 AM To: 'Chris Grabowski' <cgrabow...@aisquared.com>; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' <talk@lists.window-eyes.com>; 'Gayle' <gbeng...@live.com> Subject: RE: losing speech--last Monday of month--early morning Hi: Havent followed this thread but... If it is a web page it sounds more like the website may be performing some maintenance on their server(s) and something is causing a problem that WindowEyes may not be able to handle. Websites often perform necessary maintenance on the same day of each month, sometimes each week, and that can cause the web site or some pages to either be down or some unexpected results to return to the browser. It also could be, as Chris mentioned, you have something scheduled to run at that day and time or perhaps even an app that was loaded by the vendor when you purchassed the machine having problems like trying to call home and waiting for a response that never comes. These are not a WindowEyes problem but if your machine loses speech or locks up whenever this happens due to some third party operation that, in my old fat blind guy opinion, is a WindowEyes problem. But, the simple approach, work-around, is do your work either earlier in the day, later or on another day unless it is a date time critical operation. Other than that you would have to identify, ask around this list, what program is causing the problem and try to work-around it or deactivate it if something you don't use anyway.

Open the task scheduler and see if there is a task set to run at that time, what it is and stop it.

I have an HP desktop computer, Windows Vista and WE 8.4. I have a problem with losing speech on the last Monday of the month in the early morning at around 4:00 a.m. central standard/daylight saving time. Sometimes control, alt,w doesn't work to restore speech and control,alt,delete won't work either for some reason. I have to do a hard reset and then reboot one more time. Sometimes I can't shut down the computer using control, alt, delete and I need to do a hard reset and reboot. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance for all your help.
