[nabs-l] Windows 10 Computer Stuck on Lock Screen?

Microsoft changed the keystroke to start Narrator with Windows Creator.  It seems that people were starting Narrator by accident and then calling Microsoft for help.  I am biting my tongue rather than saying more.

Best regards,

Nope, I looked up the key combination when I couldn't get the Windows Enter combination to work.

Interesting. Windows + Enter works on our computers at work and I believe that is what I read in the Windows Narrator help pages. I wonder if it is something about your specific keyboard layout?
