Hi Hareth, I also reported this on the Beta Report Form. The problem is because in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, that is version 1709/build 16299 and a few Insiders builds ago, Microsoft gave a new colorful look to the console windows, that is, Command Prompt and Windows Power Shell. Until Freedom Scientific adapts JAWS to work with this new console window, you should configure Windows to use the legacy console. You'll not be able to take advantages of some convenient features not present in the legacy console as we could even on Windows 10 Creators Update such as pasting with CTRL+V capability and hotkeys for some common operations like Find, but the old-style console, since in 32-bit Windows versions is still compatible with some 16-bit applications, have not changed at all. To use the legacy console open Command Prompt, press ALT+SPACE and then the letter D. In the Options tab, check the Use Legacy Console (Requires Restart) checkbox and then press ENTER. As the checkbox says, you have to restart the console to apply this change. Therefore, type exit on all console windows you have opened to close CMD completely. The next time you open a console window, although with some Windows 10 console advantages lost, you will find that both Command Prompt and Power Shell windows are again accessible.
Hope it helps and, of course, I hope FS to fix this in a future update. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Hareth Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2017 2:41 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] J-2018 announcing "text area" instead of reading the command prompt edit box and feedback Greetings, Jaws 2018 beta and final, saying "text area" both with command prompt and power shell interface, that's with windows10 creators fall edition.
