Hi Richard, As Judy told you, sometimes there are issues with the JAWS auto-update feature. However, since its convenience when working properly for you, I'll explain you how to use it. If you have JAWS set to check for updates automatically, when there is an update you'll get a dialog box asking wetter you want to install the updates. In addition to Yes or No buttons, there's a check box to prevent JAWS from automatically checking for updates in the future; you can reactivate this if you want in JAWS's Basic Settings dialog. If you want to manually use this feature, regardless of the setting for the automatic check, press INSERT+J to open the JAWS window or context menu, press ALT+H to open Help and then U for choosing the Check for Updates menu item. If you have User Accounts Control (UAC) enabled in Windows, when answering that you want to install the updates or choosing the Check for Updates item in the Help menu you will be asked for administrator rights. If the account in which you are currently logged in is an administrator one, just press ALT+Y to choose Yes and continue; if not, follow prompts in the UAC dialog to choose another account with administrative privileges and entering its password before pressing ALT+Y.
When you have performed these first steps, you'll get either a waiting dialog or a list of available updates. In the list of updates, press SPACEBAR to check the update(s) you want to install, and press ENTER to begin downloading and installation. At the end, you will be asked to restart your computer. In other languages like Spanish, there is often one update available corresponding to the last build. In English, however, you'll also be offered to install additional content such as new training materials, so make sure you only check the items you actually want to install to avoid an excessive large download; you can check the size for each available update by reading the second column of the list view, which you can speak by pressing CTRL+JAWS+2. Hope it gives you a general idea on how the update process work! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of richard kurlander Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2017 11:55 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] updating jaws I have 18.0.2945 how do I update to 18.6?
