[nfbcs] Issue With JAWS and Windows 10

Fri Jun 9 18:37:31 UTC 2017

Not that Curtis needs anyone to back him up but his experience is mine
also. Set up your configurations correctly on all your programs and you
have a very successful experience. Windows did an update the other day that
gave office huge issues---had nothing to do with jaws as you could turn him
off, and had the same issues. Run a repair on Office and it fixed the bad
update for Office. Typically it is a program issue, not a jaws issue

Almost all my students have used it since it came out with Jaws and the
others are updating to Windows 10 and jaws this summer. Minus bad program
updates, it works very well and is the most easily fixed OS of any I have
used and I have used them all.

Try repairing the programs that are giving you issues.
