Big long updates
|
Cheryl Traub
Hi guys. Has anyone experienced installing Windows updates lately? I just
had one. Fortunately, today my sighted friend was here and that was good, but apparently my computer was trying to install a big update from May for Windows 10 and it didn't install. Well, there was a time back on July 10 that Jaws didn't start and I had to reboot a few times. These updates are a real pain. Jaws doesn't warn me when there is a Windows update or anything. It's really stupid. It used to be that there were warnings and the updates installed faster. What do you do when you get updates? How do you know when you get them?

Hi Cheryl,
When you say Jaws wouldn't start, do you mean
the computer was running and Jaws wasn't responding? Or, did you start
your computer and Jaws wouldn't start?
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually, the reason is that somebody screwed up.

Hi Mike. I mean that I would turn on my computer and Jaws wouldn't start.

I didn't know what was going on. Then I rebooted several times and it finally worked. This was a month ago. Then my sighted friend came today and told me that an update needs to be installed. Anyway, good that he got it installed.

Hi Cheryl,
If Jaws doesn't come up after starting the
computer this means that there's a good possibility that the operating system is
doing something in the background and rebooting the computer could possibly
cause unknown things to happen and they're usually not good to an update if
that's what's happening. If this happens again you should be able to start
Narrator and navigate with it. If the operating system is updating this
means it's in a pre-windows state and Jaws can't run in a pre-windows
state. Narrator will be able to give you an idea as to what's happening
and then just give the computer time to do its thing and it'll probably reboot
on its own or give you a message telling you it needs to be
rebooted.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually, the reason is that somebody screwed up.

Hi Mike. I tried to run Narrator, but it didn't run. Nothing worked or I

couldn't see the screen. Oh well, maybe next time I'll ask someone to pop in and read the screen. I don't know why I couldn't get Narrator to come up.

Or use a mobile phone to scan the screen if you have one. Applications such

as SeeingAI work well for this purpose. Microsoft tends to release Windows updates on the second Tuesday of the month, so around that time each month, I just use Check for Updates to bring in the latest (including the latest security fixes, which are important). Those who don't keep their software up to date are more vulnerable to malware and other malicious activity, so I try to stay ahead by ensuring I have the latest installed. (The same holds for Microsoft Office, Web browsers, and anything else that connects to the Internet.)

Hi Cheryl,
Somewhere along the line the start up and Turn
off keystrokes for Narrator changed. Just in case you didn't know this
here's the keystrokes plus the scan keystrokes for reviewing the
screen.
Press ctrl + windows + Enter to start and stop
Narrator.
Use shift + spacebar to start and stop scan mode. when Narrator is in scan mode Its like useing the Jaws cursor. You arrow up and down and use spacebar to activate items. Wwhen scan mode is off its like the PC cursor you tab to controls and press spacebar to activate them. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

Hi Cheryl,
I'm only speculating here because this hasn't
happened to me and I don't have any first hand experieence, but while the
computer is updating the sound drivers might not be loded so neither Narrator or
Jaws will be heard. Once your update has finished I would think the sound
would return and whatever screen reader you had running at the time will start
talking.

the other thing is many times if you have a large download or a large number of files you are copying the c p u will turn off the on board sound card so free up more c p u power until it has finished its task. then it will turn the sound card back on. that is what may happen when you hear the screen reader voice studder for a few seconds when accessing a hard drive.

Hi Mike,
while the computer is updating theIf there are no sound card drivers to be run in safe mode, WNarrator doesn't speak and no screen reader can speak either. But if any installed sound card drivers work during safe mode, Windows will use those to run Narrator. I have a USB sound card and another built into thee motherboard. In safe mode and while updating, Narrator only uses the motherboard sound card because the USB interface needs Windows to run. But on my laptop, my internal sound card doesn't load at all in safe mode. Nonetheleess, when I'm updating Windows, Narrator manages to get hold of this internal sound card in order to speak. I'm not sure why this doesn't happen in safe mode, which is where I would need Narrator most. As it stands, I can't use safe mode on my laptop without sighted assistance. But all my installed screen readers work in safe mode on my desktop. Orlando Enrique Fiol

I appreciate the discussion on this. I have an HP desktop PC, Windows 10 version 1903, latest JAWS. When I have updates available, I am given an option either to update and restart or update and shut down. Thus, I know when they are coming. The minor updates seem to take very little time to accomplish. When the major update of 1903 was presented, the update and restart option did not work initially. I went to check my updates and was presented the option to restart now or to schedule the restart later. I didn’t do this the first time because I was scared. After writing this list and receiving encouragement from you guys, with fear and trepidation, I restarted the PC from the Check for Updates screen. I went to another room and waited. About 20minutes later, the PC began talking again. Upon checking things out, it was just fine.

Since Windows 1703 Narrator will work during a
major upgrade these usually happens twice a year. I have upgraded several
computers and Narrator has always worked during these upgrades. Screen readers
will not. Cumulative updates are different they happen usually on a
monthly .basis
