As mentioned in my earlier note, I've had this issue right from the first install of Windows 10 and the latest version of JAWS available at that time. And, as indicated by others, I'm not alone here.

If JAWS doesn't come up talking at the Logon screen, there is a problem with JAWS. I just did a test where I booted my computer a number of times. Every time I did, one of 2 things happened. A few times, the only thing I heard was "unavailable". A few times, I heard absolutely nothing, in which cases, I didn't know if I was at the logon screen yet. Each time, I hit Insert+T to hear the window title and each time it said "Title equals". A number of times, I hit Spacebar and it took me to the password field every time. I tried hitting Shift+F8 one time and it did the same thing. This is better than what I've been doing to get around the problem. Thanks for the tip. The FS Support people I've spoken to think that this is not a very widespread problem. I would like to encourage people to report here or to FS Support if their computer does not come up talking automatically as expected when they boot up. This will let FS know the extent of the problem.

If that didn't work try hitting "shift plus F8" those 2 ways work if jaws is running. If not that means their is a problem with jaws starting on the logon screen.
