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

[Steve Jacobson]

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,

Steve Jacobson

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?
