Hi Brandon,
Thanks for your detailed post.
I am using Windows 7 and I have encountered all of WE9.3 problems that
you outlined.
I am writing this email in notepad because trying to move around in
Thunderbird would only give me a bing sound. When closing programs like
Firefox and Chrome, WE9.3 crashes and generates an error report, which I
fill out with as much detail as possible. One day in about 2 hours, I
sent 4 error reports.
I strongly suggested everyone encountering these problems to post so
that the magnitude of these problems will be revealed.
Many thanks,
Manny

>> I'm using Windows 10 home, version 1511, OS build 10586.71. I'm also
using Window-eyes 9.3.1. I am currently doing my best to contend with
annoyances such as:
>> 1. When I press alt+F4 to close apps, Wineyes frequently says
nothing at all. If I want to confirm that anything has taken place at
all, I often have to press the Wineyes read title bar command, Ctrl+shift+T.
>> 2. I'm a Microsoft certified systems engineer, so I frequently go
in and delete a whole batch of files from places like the temp, %temp%,
and prefetch folders to not only free up disk space, but to also
maintain high overall system stability and responsiveness. Often times
in Windows 10 however, just as above I am almost always greeted by
nothing except total silence from Wineyes about halfway through this
seemingly simple operation. Because of my educational background, and
the level of familiarity that I have regarding internal/background
Windows processes, services and structures, I've been able to deduce
that as a blind person using Window-eyes, you've usually got to alt+tab
around to find the screen where you have to use the Wineyes mouse
reading commands to click on the "Continue with automatic administrator
rights" button, and in the same screen I also have to use the Wineyes
mouse reading keys since I tend to put a check in the checkbox that
says, "Do this for all items".
>> 3. If you access the start button and select settings, although the
screens within are mostly accessible, the mouse reading commands can get
tripped up and are read out by Wineyes in either a nonsensical, or
undesirable way. To experience for yourself what I'm talking about, do
the following:
>> A. Access the start menu.
>> B. Press up arrow until you get to settings. Press enter on settings.
>> C. Press right arrow once to move the cursor, and subsequently the
focus to, the devices category and press enter.
>> D. At this point, the category that should be automatically
selected for you by default will more than likely be printers and
scanners. That's fine.
>> E. Now press tab four times, and you should arrive at some kind of
checkbox regarding metered internet connections.
>> Wineyes doesn't read that checkbox properly when tabbing through the
screen, and I can't get the mouse reading keys to get to that checkbox
either! I am able to get the Wineyes mouse reading keys to let me access
the first checkbox of this screen, so I know that it for example says,
"Let Windows manage my default printer". The second checkbox on this
screen however, is not reading properly at all.
>> 4. Last but not least, Window-eyes is giving me all kinds of
problems when trying to do something as simple as write an email with
Thunderbird! I'll be in the middle of composing a simple, old fashioned,
plane text email, when suddenly and without any kind of warning,
Window-eyes'll just start announcing my title bar as untitled, and not
read anything in either the subject, or body fields of the message. I
ensure that the window is maximized, makes no difference. I press
Ctrl+alt+W to relaunch Window-eyes, which sometimes does, and sometimes
doesn't make any difference. I've tried uninstalling the TB Enhance app,
thinking that it might not have exactly kept pace with Mozilla's
Thunderbird development team, but doing so also unfortunately made no
discernible difference. I've had to re-launch Window-eyes literally no
less than four times while composing this message alone!
>> What's up with all these little annoying problems I'm experiencing
with regard to Windows 10 and Window-eyes 9.3.1? Is anybody else
contending with stuff like this?
>>
>> P.S What the H e double hockysticks! Now the Read To Me app isn't
working in Thunderbird either! Before you ask, yes, I guarantee you I've
set it up correctly, I would know since I've used it successfully before
on this PC in both Firefox 43, and Internet Explorer 11. Right now
though, Ctrl+shift+r at the top of the message? Nothing. Ctrl+shift+r in
the middle of the message? Nada. Ctrl+shift+r in the middle of a line in
the middle of the message? Zilch. Zippo. Grrrrr! Ai Squared, what gives!
