That's what I thought, but apparently, that did not happen yesterday for some reason.
I think I have everything resolved now.

If you installed a newer version, it will usually take over the logon, even if you don't set it up.

I also checked the other option to always start Jaws for myself as the main user. Things now seem to be working properly again. Not sure how things got changed, so I'll have to monitor things to be sure they remain the same. Am actually considering upgrading to Jaws 18, since it is covered by my SMA, and since I've heard good things about the functionality of the latest update.

Then Options/Basics. Go through Insert+all the checkboxes in the "Automatically Start JAWS" section. It's likely that something got unchecked.

Now that I'm back in Jaws 17, Outlook is performing as it should. I still need to trouble-shoot the log-on screen startup issue, but these steps you gave me should help. I'll keep the steps handy, and continue work on the startup screen issue in the morning. Thank you for your quick response.

These steps won't work with Windows 8 or 10, & why they won't is below my steps. For those of you that have Jaws set to start at the Windows log-in screen, but it doesn't, this might work for you. I looked in, msconfig, & found that JAWS Freedom Scientific wasn't at the top of the list on the Start-up Page / Tab, so this is what I did. 1. Press, Windows key + R, to open the run dialog. 2. Type, *msconfig*, without the stars, & press enter. 3. Press, control + tab, until you get to the, Start-up Page / Tab. 4. I arrowed down the list, & unchecked any items above, JAWS Freedom Scientific, on the Start-up Page / Tab. Note: Only uncheck the items / programs above JAWS Freedom Scientific, & nothing else. Pay close attention to what you uncheck because you are going to recheck these items / programs shortly. 5. Tab to the, Okay, button, press the spacebar, & tab 1 time to, Restart, & press enter to restart your computer. 6. Once your computer is booted up repeat steps 1 thru 3, & you will notice that JAWS Freedom Scientific is now at the top of the list. 7. Now, arrow down the list of items / programs on the Start-up Page / Tab, check the items / programs that you unchecked previously, & repeat step #5. Now Jaws should start on the Windows log-in screen when your computer starts. I did the above steps on 4 different computers, both desktop & lattop, &I'm not going to say it works everytime, but it sure works most of the time, which I can say is a damn site better than before I followed the above steps.

Today, I suddenly have been experiencing two Jaws issues. Any help with either of them would be appreciated. I am using Jaws 17 professional, and Windows 7 here. 1. When I re-boot my computer after a shut-down, Jaws no longer speaks at the log-in screen. I seem to recall that someone else had this issue the other day, but don't recall the solution. I have checked "automatically start Jaws at the log-on screen" in basic Jaws options, and also have told Jaws to always start after the log-on screen for me as the main user. Currently, the only way I can start Jaws is via sighted assistance. And 2. I am using Outlook 2016 to manage both my University and personal g-mail accounts. In both accounts, Jaws is now giving me a very expanded list view in my message folders, rather than the short list view I have been accustomed to. The long message list view gives me many more details than I'd like. The abbreviated list view starts with an unread or read status notification, which is very helpful. I'm not sure how to get the shorter list view back. Currently, the folder pane is set to normal, the reading pain is set to off, and the to do bar is off. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. This is very frustrating, since I don't know what caused these sudden changes in Jaws behavior.
