Hello, The announcement does not occur when I shut down my Windows 10 computer.
Please keep in mind that since Windows 8, unless one specifically disables the Fast User Switching option, the computer does not shut down in the sense that we have come to understand the term in prior versions of Windows. Instead, the default shut down option in both Windows 8.x and 10 places the computer in a kind of hibernation mode preserving certain settings. In order to truly shut down the computer, in the classic meaning of the phrase, one must disable the fast-user switching located in the power options settings of the OS. Once done, (1) Jaws will no longer announce itself and (2) the computer will truly be shut down as it was in Windows 7 and earlier.

It surprised me at first as well. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Furness via Jfw Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2015 3:58 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.
