not sure if this will help. On a standard keyboard you can press insert- 1 on the number row above the keyboard. In this mode pressing any key will not activate the keystroke. JAWS will only announce what the key function is. Insert-1 is a toggle on and off. Perhaps your laptop keyboard has a similar insert-1 toggle and it is stuck. However it seems a power down and reboot would clear this command and boot up as usual. Though it could be worth checking out. Just a thought.

Cc: Russell Solowoniuk Subject: Jaws 16 issue with touch screen at login Hi everyone, I am running Jaws 16 on a Lenovo Yoga Pro2 laptop. It has a touch screen, which I hardly ever use. I am running into an issue when my laptop goes to sleep. It goes to the Windows lockscreen. In the past all I had to do was press the power button on my laptop and I would be taken to the Windows lock screen where I could simply tab to the password field, enter my password, and I’d be right where I left off when my laptop went to sleep. Now, however, every time my laptop goes to sleep, when I press the power button nothing seems to happen. If I touch the screen though, Jaws is running and I can swipe to the various choices, i.e. password, shutdown, etc. but I cannot do anything. Double-tapping on the password field does nothing. Double-tapping on the shutdown button does nothing. And, nothing happens when I try to use the keyboard. It’s as if Jaws is in touch screen mode and the keyboard is not at all active. I called FS, and the guy there didn’t have a clue as to what to do. He suggested that I turn off the lock screen. I may do this, but at the moment I cannot get in to Windows at all. I press and hold the power button to turn off my laptop, but, when I turn it on, nothing happens… not evenwhen I touch the screen. So, my question… is there a keystroke I may have accidentally pressed to put Jaws in some sort of touch screen mode? Thanks for any and all ideas!
