[Trainer-Talk] Issues with Windows 10

[Kerryann Ifill]

Hi all,

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.
We’ll give them a try this week and I’ll let you know. It is rather odd.
Yes I believe she can afford that option. Will check out more details on it as I have others who could use an upgrade.

Thanks again.
Kerry

I don't know if this option was available in JAWS 18. I doubt that it was but it won't hurt to check. I'd be interested to see if enabling this setting in a JAWS 2021 demo would improve the behavior. Can your student afford $95 for a JAWS Home Annual license for one year?
