[blindlaw] Slightly OT: Accessing Settings Menu on Windows 10 Enterprise

[Singh, Nandini]

All,

I was wondering, among those of you using a Windows 10 Enterprise Anniversary edition operating system, do you find that JAWS (version 17) works well on this? I ask because JAWS does not read certain things, such as the items in the start menu or the settings menu. Both my firm's IT and I asked Freedom, and Freedom had no answers as to why this was happening. My only other guessis that some firm security/firewall software, of which we have an ample amount, is interfering with JAWS' fully functioning.

It is annoying because you need to access the settings menu in order to get internet, and I do not feel all that comfortable allowing just anyone to use a firm-issued laptop. I have tried using a separate client, like AT&T, to get internet as a way to bypass the start menu/settings menus, but this is behaving strangely, too. I have not been able to get it to work quite right, even though I know the AT&T client is supposed to be JAWS-friendly. I am only further confused because I do not have any of these issues when using my Windows 10 computer at home. Thoughts?

Regards,
Nikki
