Windows defender is now called windows security center and will not go on your desk top. If you have windows defender on your desk top it won't you will have to open the start menu and down arrow to windows center but there is no first letternavagation on the start menu and no context menu either. I did try shift f10 and there was nothing. I don't know why you can't put windows security center on your desk top. It would be nice if you could and first letternavagation would be nice to have on the start menu.

It is called Windows Defender Security Center.

A desktop shortcut to Windows Defender Security Center can be created using the step-by-step directions documented in:

• Adding Desktop Shortcuts Under Windows 10

You can also pin to either start or taskbar by choosing those options from the context menu where you select "Create Shortcut" in the directions.

Being that I've made calendar events pretty commonly, I had no idea. I really, really need to take the plunge into Outlook. I was just finding the flippin' thing in the notifications center with Windows+a and then clearing it therefrom. I'm a moron. Don's gonna save me loads of time with work.

Folks,

I’m using Windows 10, JAWS 18, and Outlook 2016.

Earlier, I had a calendar event pop up in my Outlook. Though I easily was able to gain focus to that window by either alt+tabbing, or by using my open items list with JAWS key+F10, once in the window, I was able to focus on the list view containing the calendar events, but I couldn’t figure out the hot keys for snoozing, or for dismissing, let alone, dismissing all. I had to use the jaws cursor, and was able to then manually click on the icon of choice.

I definitely remember that there were shortcut keys for dismissing, dismissing all, and snoozing, but I don’t remember them.

I thought it was something like ctrl+insert+G, but I know that isn’t right, as that command is how you auto graphic label. I vividly remember it being something with the letter G, as in golf, but I just don’t remember the specifics.

Can someone please refresh my memory?

Chris.

Actually, your Windows 10 user account password and your Microsoft Account password can be entirely different.

The fact that the same username (usually an e-mail address) and password is most often being used for many Windows 10 users is that they are setting up their Microsoft Account as part of setting up Windows 10 and make both the same during that process.

One could establish a Windows 10 user account that's linked to an existing Microsoft account using completely different user names.

Once a Windows 10 user account is linked to a specific Microsoft Account you can change the password on one, the other, or both and the link remains.

My passwords on my Windows 10 account, which does use the same e-mail address as my Microsoft Account, are different. I changed the password on the Microsoft Account subsequent to establishing both when I first got into Windows 10 during the Insiders Program during the pre-release-to-the-public period and just did so again minutes ago. Since doing so I have restarted my computer and the password for my Windows 10 user account remains exactly as it was and the link between it and the Microsoft Account is unbroken.

I got as far as the third boot, about 75 percent as Narrator was
announcing to me, and when the screen came up, it was the Windows 10
"welcome" screen with my name as the second line, and I believe a "next"
button in the lower right hand corner.
I got "be my eyes" to take a look, but the person did not see a "next
button," but I think there may have been one which KNFB reader see.
I tried all I can think of, but my computer is silent! Narrator will not
come with control windows enter.
I attempted the update on Saturday night, before tomorrow's release date.
I've already talked with the folks at Microsoft (800) 936-5900.

OK. It’s official. I’m baffled.

 

In Windows 10, non-creator or insider build, mind you, with Outlook 2016, I’m all of a sudden having a really strange issue.

 

This all started about a month ago. Outlook was acting really goofy when I tried to open up any message in my gmail inbox. As soon as I’d hit enter to open the message, I visually could tell it opened, but I couldn’t arrow through the content of the message, try as I might.

 

Usually the fix was to hit escape to close the message, which would land me back in my inbox still sitting on that message. If I then opened the message again by pressing enter, my virtual PC cursor would be activated, and I could then use all virtual PC cursor web navigation as usual to read the content.

 

OK, now, fast forward to about a day ago. I installed the ICloud utility which automatically sets up an ICloud e-mail account, and also syncs down all your contacts, calendars, and reminders. I seriously doubt that’s rellavent to my following problem, but I wanted to at least throw that out there before continuing simply to say, it’s the only thing I even remotely can think that I’ve changed or modified which might have done something, but again as I said, that’s incredibly unlikely.

 

So now, regardless which inbox I’m in, Gmail which is my default, or ICloud, doesn’t matter, some e-mail messages lately, in fact quite a few of them, are not letting the virtual PC cursor in JAWS 18 become activated.

 

This is just nuts puzzling! I seriously don’t get this!

 

The only theory I have is that maybe those messages were written in plain text instead of rich text HTML, but I seriously don’t believe that to be the case.

 

I don’t have any of those messages I could share as an example, and ethicly speaking, even if I did, I wouldn’t feel comfortable forwarding them without the sender’s soul permission first.

 

I’ve tried countless times closing and reopening the messages, but that yields no success whatsoever.

 

I’ve ran a repair of JAWS, but that didn’t help. I even did so and deleted all user settings, not to be confused with shared settings. I don’t want to do that, as I have other VFO products installed, and doing so would cause them to crash.

 

I tried hitting insert+Z but that tells me virtual PC cursor unavailable. I further have tried pressing insert+escape to refresh the screen mottle buffer, but again, no dice.

 

The even stranger thing about this  is, even though I don’t have a virtual PC cursor, I still can up and down arrow through the message content with just the plain PC cursor, and can read it just fine. If I see a link in the message, I’m unsure if hitting enter would activate it, since I’m technically not in virtual browse mode, sota speak.

 

Neither am I sure if query commands like insert+F6 for headings, insert+F7 for links, etc. would work; I’ve not honestly tried.

 

Does anyone have any earthly inkling of an idea what in the tarnation might be going on here? As I said, I’m pullin’ my hair out, trying to figure this out. It just! doesn’t! make any sense!

 

Chris.

Hello All,

          I am not attempting to start an ongoing conversation about this in this forum both because it's off the central topic and I have not yet played with TalkingArch Linux.  I did, however, believe that there are a few "geeky types" who read here who might just want to do some exploration of this distro if they've wondered about Linux.  A friend on BleepingComputer.com sent me this private message a short while ago:

I was wondering if you have heard of TalkingArch. It is a Linux distro aimed at the visually handicapped. Here is one link https://talkingarch.tk/about.php

As you can see from this description here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TalkingArch it has Braille support. I don't know if this is something that could help you but I was thinking that if you had a spare partition you can install it and play with it, maybe it is something that you can use for your clients.

Hay, perhaps I am not looking in the right place! But, can your password to your computer  log on differ from the one for your Microsoft account?

Thanks Heather
