Re: [JAWS-Users] automatic windows update and jaws
Hi Kelsey, Actually, if you have your updates set to automatic, you can choose when they are installed, such as daily, or a particular day of the week, and an approximate time. This is true of both Windows XP and 7. Note: If you have your updates set to automatic, you will not have an opportunity to review them before they are installed. Not all updates are necessary for every system, I have found this to be true especially in Win7.

JAWS just starts talking, so if you leave your computer on, be prepared for that. I live at home, so one night it woke my family up.

Re: [JAWS-Users] automatic windows update and jaws
On my Win 7 64 bit machine running latest JAWS 15, I have no problem using the computer while updates are downloading and/or installing. In fact JAWS usually you can continue working while updates are downloading/installing. When they are done, you do need to reboot.

Re: [JAWS-Users] automatic windows update and jaws
You could turn off the Windows Update feature for a week or a month and then restart it when you have some idle time at work. I'm not sure when that would be, just a thought. I myself have Windows automatic update turned off because it uses up bandwidth I could be using for other things.

Re: [JAWS-Users] automatic windows update and jaws
Yes, and that is the problem at work. They do the updates, by they I mean automation, and don't seem to care that when they do these I can't do anything for that time. I guess my question was whether there is any way to use jaws while these updates are going on, or do I just have to wait.

Sugar, I can't program when they are going to do updates at work, they do them when they want to do them.
