Your View menu has changed, how ever it
changed. Below are 2 ways of changing the view menu to list
view:
Changing the view menu with
keystrokes:
Here is a list of the shortcut keys for changing the type of view: CTRL + SHIFT + 1 Extra Large icons,
CTRL + SHIFT + 2 Large Icons, CTRL + SHIFT + 3 Medium Icons, CTRL + SHIFT + 4 Small Icons, CTRL + SHIFT + 5 List view, CTRL + SHIFT + 6 Details view, CTRL + SHIFT + 7 Tiles view, CTRL + SHIFT + 8 Content view. Changing the view menu using the context
menu:
First make sure that your folder window is maximized. Windows key + up arrow, or Alt +spacebar, let up then press the letter, X. 1. While in a folder make sure nothing is highlighted / selected and open the context menu by pressing the applications key or Shift + F10. 2. You should be on, submenue View, press enter, down arrow to, List, press enter. 3. Again make sure nothing is selected, open the context menu, down arrow to, submenue Sort By, press enter and if Name is checked press Escape, but if you make achange press enter on the option you want which will close the context menu while saving the change you made. Also in this SortBy submenu you want Ascending checked. This makes the files / folders show A to Z, descending makes files / folders show, Z to A. 4. If you didn't make any changes in the, submenue Sort By, and pressed Escape just down arrow to, submenue Group By and press enter, now find, None, and press enter. If you made a change in, submenue Sort By, you'll need to open the context menue again, and do the same as in the first part of this step. Stay safe & take care. Mike. Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say: "Close Enough!"

Sounds like your view has changed in Windows Explorer. Here's how to fix it. Get into Windows Explorer with WINDOWS+E Make sure nothing is selected Go into the context menu with either the applications key or SHIFT+F10 Now, select the View option in that menu. In this level of menus, you'll see the different ways you can view your files. I'd suggest either list or details to get what you want. That should do what you want. If this doesn't stick for other folders, let me know and I'll let you know how to get a view to be set for all folders. Have a blessed day and don't work too hard. Kevin and Jilly

Preliminary screen reader advisories for Windows 21H2 releases
#ADVISORY
#win11
#WinTen21H2
Hi all, As promised, the following is a preliminary screen reader advisories for Windows 21H2 releases:
IMPORTANT: Windows 11 is in preview, therefore information can change without notice.
For Windows 10 21H2 (build 19044): As an enablement package (delivered in the form of a cumulative update), screen readers compatible with Windows 10 21H1 (May 2021 Update) will work. For best experience, use a screen reader release compatible with Edge 85 or later. The following are recommended screen reader releases:
For Windows 11 (build 22000): Screen readers must be updated to support Windows 11 specific changes. These changes include updated Start menu and Taskbar design, Notification Center (Windows+N) and Control Center (Windows+A), Widgets (Windows+W), the new emoji panel (Windows+period), Settings app (Windows+I), design changes to system tray (Windows+B) and other UI tweaks. Apart from Narrator, current screen reader releases are not yet optimized for Windows 11, and in some cases, things will not work.
Issues include:
The good news is that screen reader vendors (Microsoft, Vispero, NV Access) are aware of Windows 11 changes and are working on addressing screen reader specific issues.
Screen reader requirements:
Recent Windows 11changes that will affect screen reader users:
A few reminders:
Hope this helps. Cheers, Joseph

Re: Stopping from Updating to Windows11
Mike B.
Hi all,
Here's information I've found so far about
this:
How to block the Windows 11 update
by Martin Brinkmann on July 06, 2021 in Windows 11 Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system will be released later this year and systems that are compatible with the new version of Windows may be upgraded to it free of charge. Administrators have a choice when it comes to the Windows 11 update: keep a device on Windows 10, which is supported until 2025, or update to the new operating system. Microsoft revealed that Windows 11 won't be pushed forcefully to systems
running Windows 10 via Windows Update. Administrators need to seek for the
update
actively using Windows Updates. Whether the process is going to change in the future remains to be seen. Microsoft did tighten the screws back when it released Windows 10 as an optional update. It is possible that Windows 11 will be pushed more aggressively the closer Windows 10's end of service date approaches. The easy way
The easiest option, for now at least, is to avoid the "check for updates"
button in Settings > Update & Security. If you don't activate the button,
Windows
11 won't be offered via Windows Updates. The option may be temporary, but it should work for the foreseeable
future.
Blocking the Windows 11 update
Blocking the update is not as straightforward as blocking feature updates
for Windows 10. Up to Windows 10 version 21H1, there is only an option to
delay
feature update installations. Problem is: if you activate the option using the Group Policy Editor or Windows Registry, you will also block the upcoming Windows 10 version 21H2 update. If you don't mind delaying the installation, which may help avoid any bugs
and issues discovered in first couple of months, then this works right
now.
Using the Group Policy Editor
select the target feature update version
The Group Policy Editor is only available in Professional, Education and
Enterprise editions of Windows 10.
list of 7 items
1. Open the Start Menu. 2. Type gpedit.msc and load the Group Policy Editor once it is displayed in the search results. 3. Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business 4. Double-click on "Select the target feature update version". 5. Set the policy to Enabled. 6. Type 21H1 into the field. 7. Close the Group Policy Editor. list end Note: You may switch to 21H2 once it is added to the release information
page on
Microsoft's Docs website. You may also wait a couple of months as Windows 11's release is months away. Using the Registry
registry windows update
list of 6 items 1. Open the Start Menu. 2. Type regedit.exe and select the Registry Editor search result. 3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate. 4. Set the Dword TargetReleaseVersion to 1. If the value does not exist, right-click on Windows Update, and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value. 5. Set the value of TargetReleaseVersionInfo to 21H1. If the value does not exist, right-click on Windows Update, and select New > String Value. 6. Restart the PC. list end Again, replace 21H1 with the new version of Windows 10 once it is listed on
the Docs website.
From Windows 10 version 21H2 onward
Microsoft changed the policy in preview versions of its Windows 11
operating system, and it is likely that the updated policy will also be
introduced on
Windows 10 devices. windows 11 set target version update
Administrators may specify a Windows version and a feature update version
in the updated policy. Using it, you may select Windows 10 as the version
and
then a feature update version for the operating system, e.g. 21H2. list of 6 items
1. Open the Group Policy Editor again (as described above). 2. Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Manage updates offered from Windows Update. 3. Double-click on "Select the target feature update version". 4. Enable the policy. 5. Set the target version of the operating system to Windows 10. 6. Set the target feature update to 21H2 or another. list end Using the Registry Editor
block windows 11 upgrade registry
list of 6 items 1. Open the Registry Editor on the system. 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate. 3. Set TargetReleaseVersion to 1. If the value does not exist, right-click on Windows Update, and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value. 4. Set ProductVersion to Windows 10. If the value does not exist, right-click on Windows Update, and select New > String Value. 5. Set TargetReleaseVersionInfo to 21H2. If the value does not exist, right-click on Windows Update, and select New > String Value. 6. Restart the PC. list end Now You: do you plan to upgrade your devices to Windows 11? (via

Re: narrator aujdio tutorials

Hi again Monte:
You might be surprised as to how similar the various screen readers are. Narrator uses the same inter net navigation keys that Jaws and NVdA do for the most part. X for check box, C for combo box, e for edit field, b for button, r for radio button. H and shift H will move you through headings. Insert f7 will list links, insert f6 will list headings. Check out the Hadley tutorials, browse the narrator guide and you’ll be cooking with gas.
Cheers.

You have an other search option in the ctrl-shift-o screen as Sieghart wrote An other option and letternavigation is possible here, is: Turn on the favorites bar with ctrl-shift-b When you want to open a favorite, press alt-shift-b to go to the favorites bar. Here you can only left/right arrow and enter to open a favorite, but if you have favorites in a folder, you can press down arrow to open that folder and use first letter navigation in that window.
