Hi Ted, You can actually try System Access for free by going to the following site. Note that System Access will come up speaking when you first open the page and, I think Jaws will be unloaded. I'm not sure exactly how things work if you don't have a licensed copy of SA, because I think you are presented with a login screen. Try it and see how it goes...

I've flirted with free programs before, and always found them lacking. Could I find out more by entering System Access as a search term?

Cc: Michal Nowicki Subject: RE: How To Stop Windows 10 from Sharing Your Bandwidth With Others Without Your Permission Russell and All, I encountered the same accessibility barrier when trying to disable this feature. I assumed that "checked" means "on, while no status indication signifies "off." Can anyone confirm if this is in fact correct? I don't have System Access to verify myself. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your help.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but MS nevver ceases to amaze me with some of the choices they make! Why would this, to use the term loosely, feature, be turned on by default? If you hadn't brought it up here, I would have unwittingly been sharing my bandwidth with who knows who! Amazing! Another confirmation that switching to the Mac as my main home computer 6 years agowas the right choice! Just as an aside to this... when I followed your instructions to turn off this feature, Jaws only read the On/Off switch button as "checked" so it was really unclear as to what I was checking or unchecking. I unloaded Jaws and loaded System Access. System Access announced "Switch button On" and "Switch button Off", which helped me to know for sure that I was actually turning this feature off. Thanks Mark for bringing this to our attention! You saved me much bandwidth, I'm sure! :) Russell -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark via Jfw Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2015 3:19 PM To: 'Jaws for Windows' <[email protected]> Cc: Mark <[email protected]> Subject: How To Stop Windows 10 from Sharing Your Bandwidth With Others Without Your Permission Hello My Fellow Windows 10 Users, You know, I was becoming less and less enthusiastic about Windows 10 as it does so many things, in terms of sharing our personal information, and now, it seems, even our band-width without our expressed permission, until I discovered how to control it's somewhat hidden options. Please read the following, carefully, to discover how to disable this, in my opinion, very unwelcomed feature. Mark How to Disable Windows 10 Update Delivery Optimization (WUDO) By default, Windows 10 is using your bandwidth by way of a new 'feature' called Windows Update Delivery Optimization (WUDO). In a nutshell, Windows 10 is uploading files in the background to other Windows 10 users. This brief guide will explain how to disable the Windows Update Delivery Optimization service. 1. Click the Windows 10 "Start Button" and select Settings 2. Select Update & security from the Settings menu. 3. Click Advanced options 4. Click Choose how updates are delivered 5. Finally, toggle Updates from more than one place to Off 6. All done! _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
