Howdy Brenda,

One way is to use Control Space bar to unselect the item, then open the
context menu by pressing the Applications key or Shift + F10. In the context
menu,
open the View menu and scroll down and select Details.

Another way is to open File Explorer and press, Alt + F, tab to, Options,
and press enter.
Now, Control + Tab, to the View tab, and tab to, Advanced settings
Tree-View.
Down arrow from here to, Display file size and folder tips, and turn this
option on.
Tab to, Okay, and press enter to save / close.

Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

Mike,

Your description of why you use 2 browsers, or perhaps more, is exactly why I was interested in getting my bookmarks into Edge. that way, I could have 2 browsers with the bookmarks; hence my disappointment at the apparently inability of these browsers to import FF bookmarks.

I've always found that there is no practical way to limit oneself to a
single browser if you don't want to limit your web possibilities.
Certain browsers show certain web pages or sites better; and, when I
discover that, I try to use that browser for that site or page if I
use it regularly.

Subject: Re: [win10] Preliminary screen reader advisories for Version 2004 (build 19041) #WinTen2004 #ADVISORY

 

Hello Joseph,

Will we still have the option of a local account by disconnecting the machine from the internet? I do not want the cloud experience, or my data associated ewith my microsoft account, so I use a local one, and want to keep it that way when I do a clean install.

 

Hi all,

 

Part of the reason why there hasn’t been Windows 10 development briefing until now was due to virtually no activity with Version 2004, and it is a bit early to talk about what fast ring Insiders are using.

 

The following is a preliminary screen reader compatibility advisory for upcoming Version 2004 (build 19041):

 

Windows 10 Version 2004 is very close at hand. Key highlights include ability to reset from fresh copy on the cloud, improved GPU tracking in Task Manager, new Cortana experience, WSL 2, and many other changes. There has been improvements in Narrator, including supporting Chromium-based browsers.

 

Key changes:

 

• Cloud reset: when you perform a reset, you can download a fresh copy of Windows system files from the cloud rather than using files from local installations.
• Emphasis on Microsoft Account during clean install.
• Track more GPU data in Task Manager.
• New conversational Cortana experience, including Cortana window staying open all the time when launched.
• Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2, completely different mechanism than version 1 with virtualization playing a more prominent role.
• Modern input method experience for Chinese and Japanese.
• Support for Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax).
• Various Narrator improvements.

 

Screen reader compatibility: any screen reader compatible with Version 1903 (May 2019 Update/build 18362) should work, although for best experience, more recent versions should be used. IN particular, releases supporting Chromium-based Edge 79 or later are recommended. The following are recommended screen reader releases:

 

• Narrator: compatible
• JAWS: 2018 or later (JAWS 2020 February 2020 update recommended)
• NVDA: 2019.3 or later
• Any screen reader compatible with at least Version 1903 along with Chromium Edge

 

Things to note:

 

Narrator:

• Microsoft is looking into compatibility issues with Edge 79 and later.

 

JAWS:

• February 2020 release of JAWS 2020 is highly recommended due to initial support for Edge 79 and later.
• Emoji picker (Windows+Period) may not work well.

 

NVDA:

• Version 2019.3 or later should be used as it supports Edge 79 and Version 2004 changes (be sure add-ons are compatible).

 

For other screen readers, please contact vendors regarding plans for Version 2004 support.

 

Note: the above advisory will change based on updated feedback from vendors and users.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hello all! based on what mr. Ed has said in for many other reasons, I have delayed in getting the tutorial to you on using the new chromium Microsoft edge. The reason why, is that I am finding more and more in consistencies on different web pages that I am finding workarounds for. This includes added two boxes on different websites form controls like combo boxes, buttons, and other form fields that are not consistent on websites such as banking, shopping, and other websites. I can't do a tutorial on the settings and get that out to you. The settings are consistent, but actually using the new chromium edge, is not consistent across websites. I just wanted to let you know that I am still working with that so I can give you a tutorial where the instructions will always work. I am also having problems with the manage downloads. It is difficult to put favorites in different folders, and so on consistently. I will do my tutorial on the settings, and get that out to you in the next couple days. I just wanted to let you know that I am finding these inconsistent seas with the chromium hedge, and that is why I have not sent you the first tutorial on using it. Take care guys, and I will keep you up-to-date on how I am doing with that, and learning it myself before I get a good tutorial to you. Take care guys and have a great day!

Hi Sieghard,

You have it correct. If you do not have Edge maximize and you go into the settings you will not be able to see the tree view. If you minimize the edge browser and go into settings and try to get to profile, privacy and security, and so on you will not be able to do that.  Do you have automatic form mode turn on? If you have that on or off it makes a difference what you can get to in the settings and how you get to them. If you have forms mode set to auto and you have Edge minimize you will not be able to get to the tree view. I tried doing it as I had a friend that had form mode on and his Edge minimized and he could not get to the tree view in settings. But having it maximize he had no issue with form mode on auto. When I want to go to settings and I have my forms mode on auto all I have to do is press alt + F then press S then tab once and arrow down once and I am on profile. But if you minimize Edge then do the same steps   you will land on add profile. Which is not in the tree view but you are in the profile edit page.

Mr. Ed

I have not noticed that whether Edge is maximized or not has any influence on seeing the Settings.

The only thing that is different that if Edge is not maximized you have to click on the menu at the top in order to bring up the category treeview.

Here is Jaws history showing what that sounds like:

 

Settings – this is at the very top of the page, if I arrow down once I hear this:

Settings menu, button menu

If I arrow down further when the page is not maximized I go straight past the search edit box to “Your profile”, the category treeview is missing, but it can easily be restored by pressing enter on that menu.

1. Go to the Edge icon on your desktop.
2. Press the windows key and up arrow once to properties.
3. Tab down to run and it should say maximize.  If it does not change it to maximize.
4. Tab to ok.

Hi Everyone,

In working with a friend of mine who when into settings in the new Chromium Edge was not able to see  the settings in the tree view in Edge. After many frustrating hours he finally figured out that if Edge is not maximize you cannot see all the settings in Edge. So make sure you go to properties in the New Chromium Edge icon and set it to open in maximize. If you need the steps to do that please let me know and I will provide those. Also you can maximize Edge when open by pressing the windows Key + up arrow.

Mr. Ed
