Hi Brian, Thanks for the advice - much appreciated. I have tried all that as you have suggested but unfortunately, the problem is not persistent although it is recurring so, it is pretty hard to distinguish what is the cause. One thing for sure, it has only started ever since I have downloaded the most recent Jaws update.

Press Windows key with the letter "U" to bring up the Ease of Access Center. After doing that then press the keystroke Alt-N to start Windows narrator. When Narrator is running try pressing Windows key to see if you can access and use the Windows start menu. If so, then the problem is likely JAWS related. If it is JAWS related then it could be one of a myriad of reasons that JAWS is having trouble. You might start by reinstalling JAWS. You might also update your video card driver. I wish you the best. Take care.
