[NFBCS] question about JAWS 2026 and potential fix

[Dr Denise M Robinson]

Hi Elizabeth,

Believe it or not another word for desktop is Program manager (so it is odd
that it decided to say that vs desktop)--ok, not helpful so this is how to
hopefully fix itImport your prior settings from your last Jaws

   1.

   Press *Insert+J* or use whatever command to open JAWS window.
   2.

   Press *Alt+U for utilities* then *I* for *Import/Export Settings*.
   3.

   Choose *Import from previous version*.
   4.

   Complete the wizard and restart JAWS. and restart computer.
   Old verbosity behavior should return. But let me know
