Gerald if I do that I am clue less of which windows updates I should or shouldm't download. this is why I was asking which windows update causes the dialogue to that was mentioned below to appear? Re: [JAWS-Users] if your not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update To prevent Windows 10 from being installed surreptitiously on your PC without your knowledge, go to Change Settings in the Windows Update dialog, and in the combo box choose the option labeled "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them."

You also have cortana which obeys your commands to do things on the computer for you and to answer many questions. I and many many JAWS and NVDA users have already upgraded to win10 and love it and will never look back. Please quit being afraid to explore the unknown.

[JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
Yes Gerald I remember you saying that to uninstall KB3,335,583 and I did but I left the automatic updates on so my question is now , will windows update still be able to install with KB3,335,582 missing? Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update Anna, In the past, I've suggested to uninstall KB3035583, and then hide it upon checking for updates, but I think what Gerald is implying is that if you leave the settings on windows updates to be performed automatically, you won't have any control as to what gets updated.

Thanks Donny I think I know which one it is but I am not quite sure. since I am using windows 8.1 I think it is 3,112,336 but I can not be quite sure because it has not put a message in my system tray like yours did. as of yet. but I have a feeling that it will not do anything because I got rid of the update that started this whole mess in the first place which was KB3,035,583 I will keep an eye on it anyway Thanks again Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] if you're not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update Anna- this one came down this week on either Dec. 1 or 2.

Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
Updates are divided (in Win7 at least) between important and recommended. I never download recommended because I chinstruct Windows to check for updates and let me decide whether to download and install. If the Win 10 install is an important upgrade, then you'd have to go into the details of each upgrade that is connected to the operating system, not to your other apps like Word, Defender, etc. There is a link to more information.

Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
Anna, I'm no expert, but your question made me rethink my response I was going to offer. kb3035583 does not provide any security patch to a vulnerability, it is merely an update that reminds and facilitates users of 7 or 8.1 to reserve the free offer of upgrading to 10. so, I think not having kb3035583 won't necessarily prevent the computer from being upgraded to windows 10. as for the upgrade being done automatically, I'm not sure. but heed Gerald's post about changing the settings from automatic to manual, and uncheck to get recommended updates. after 7/29/16, all worries of automatically being upgraded to windows 10 should be over, and if you're still on 7 or 8.1, it should be safe to return windows updates to automatic.

Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
Hi. You have to goto the Windows Update, Installed updates, and remove the kb2952664, kb3035583, and kb3112343. Don't restart the computer between each removal, but remove all 3 updates before restart. When the computer is Restarted, goto the Windows Update, and search for updates, but don't install the updates, but goto the Recommended updates link, and see, that the just removed updates again is ready for install. Uncheck the checkbox by each of these updates, and use the contextmenu button to get acces to the "Hide update".

Yes, the 'strong' rumour is that the update to Win 10 will happen automatically, IF you have Windows updates set to auto. No, the update is painless. In fact, I upgraded a very sick Win 7 PC last week which had multiple software driver issues. It is not running smoothly on Win 10.

Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
You are so right with this point. Even things like CD/DVD burners and Blu-ray players stop working due to driver issues with Windows 10. In addition the incompatibility issues JAWS has with the new Microsoft Edge browser makes this a no-brainer for me at least. I'm still using Windows 7 and will continue to do so as long as possible. I believe in the saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
That's the point those who are imploring everyone to upgrade do not tell you. You will encounter driver issues with printers, scanners, DVD players, USB drives and the list goes on. If you don't mind loosing the ability to use hardware devices you now rely on, then go ahead and upgrade to Windows 10. A smart person would first do research to make sure their PC and all peripheral devices connected is 100% compatible with an OS before attempting to use it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
Your advice is right-on. If you visit the manufacturer's web site to search for drivers for your peripheral devices, the site will usually detect which OS you currently have installed and search for drivers for that particular OS. So if, for instance, you visit the Samsung web site to search for Windows 10 drivers for your Samsung laser printer before you upgrade to Windows 10, the site will detect your current OS, which will probably be either Windows 7 or 8. So you would first have to upgrade to Windows 10 to determine whether Windows 10 drivers were actually available for your printer. Of course, you could search for third-party Windows 10 drivers for your printer before you upgrade to Windows 10, but this is generally not recommended, as the reliability of such drivers is often suspect. And before you think that you can just rush out and buy a new printer if you are unable to find Windows 10 drivers for your old one, keep in mind that many, if not most, new printers, no longer come with tactile, rocker power switches, and often require sighted assistance to set up and operate because they have LCD display screens whose menu options are often totally inaccessible. The same is true for scanners and all-in-one units. So again, proceed with caution. There is no hurry to upgrade to Windows 10, since Windows 7 will be supported until early 2020.

Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
I personally believe that upgrading to Windows10 needs to be an individual decision. No one should be criticized for choosing to upgrade or not to upgrade. I am annoyed that Microsoft has taken this approach to force it on us, but that is not my reason for not upgrading. My primary reason is that my employer will not be upgrading to Windows10 anytime soon. As I grow older and wiser, I've decided that it is not worth my time and effort to be running different computer setups at work and home. There was a time in my life when I was simultaneously proficient in using Apple IIe, Apple GS, Apple Mac, and Windows 3.5, as well as able to write computer code in 4 different programming languages. I now leave the multi-platform use to others of you on this list. I monitor the information shared on this list and tuck it away (or search the archives) when I do need the knowledge. In addition, I'm pretty sure that when I do make the decision to upgrade at home, I will be faced with looking for a new printer and scanner. As best as I can tell neither will be supported in Windows10, but since I've been using them since WindowsXP I am well due for replacements of these devices. So my holiday which for this list is to continue to see useful information being shared on this list and no more criticism of people's personal decisions. We get enough stuff pushed on us from technology manufacturers. Happy Holidays to All!!

Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
Excuse me, but exactly how was I complaining about Windows 10? I merely pointed out that there are driver issues to consider before upgrading. My post was most certainly on topic for this list, but if you believe otherwise, then take it up with the moderators. And if you are happy with Windows 10, then more power to you.

If you visit the manufacturer's web site to search for drivers for your peripheral devices, the site will usually detect which OS you currently have installed and search for drivers for that particular OS. So if, for instance, you visit the Samsung web site to search for Windows 10 drivers for your Samsung laser printer before you upgrade to Windows 10, the site will detect your current OS, which will probably be either Windows 7 or 8. So you would first have to upgrade to Windows 10 to determine whether Windows 10 drivers were actually available for your printer. Of course, you could search for third-party Windows 10 drivers for your printer before you upgrade to Windows 10, but this is generally not recommended, as the reliability of such drivers is often suspect. And before you think that you can just rush out and buy a new printer if you are unable to find Windows 10 drivers for your old one, keep in mind that many, if not most, new printers, no longer come with tactile, rocker power switches, and often require sighted assistance to set up and operate because they have LCD display screens whose menu options are often totally inaccessible. The same is true for scanners and all-in-one units. So again, proceed with caution. There is no hurry to upgrade to Windows 10, since Windows 7 will be supported until early 2020. Even Eric Damery has recommended that JAWS users wait awhile before upgrading. Gerald -Original Message- From: K.

You will encounter driver issues with printers, scanners, DVD players, USB drives and the list goes on. If you don't mind loosing the ability to use hardware devices you now rely on, then go ahead and upgrade to Windows 10. A smart person would first do research to make sure their PC and all peripheral devices connected is 100% compatible with an OS before attempting to use it. If you are one who likes living on the "Microsoft" edge, then I guess taking such precautions means nothing.

I'm sorry but I cannot afford to have 2 laptops. I'm glad you have the finances to own multiple laptops affording you the ability of upgrading to Windows 10, but for someone like myself it just isn't feasible. I'm using Windows 7 Home (64 Bit) with latest build of JAWS 17 and a TripleTalk USB hardware synth, and I'm experiencing zero issues. My All-in-1 Epson printer/scanner/copier works. My WD 2 TB USB hard drive work. My duel layer DVD burner works... in other words nothing is broke, so I'm not in a rush to change anything. I'm not a computer/software programmer so I have no idea what a "Faster OS" mean. All I know is when I open an application or visit a page on the web,, my PC does the job and does it well. So please don't look at people hesitant about upgrading to Windows 10 as "Cavemen living in the stone age" for in this instance there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Continued fortune with your experience with Windows 10. When I feel the time is right and feel comfortable enough to take my flawlessly working Windows 7 PC down the road of uncertainty, I'll upgrade. That won't be anytime soon though. LOL!

Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update
I agree. 2 of the Win 10 computers in the house we had to go and find the drivers for the printer. I have upgraded 1 of my computers and the other 1 I am not for various reasons, it's my choose to do so or not. This thread is going on forever. It's simple Microsoft wants everyone on 10 and is going to push it on you unless you change your settings and get rid of it. Some use it and it is fine and some don't want to use it. I hope we can end this argument about it soon. We all know what's going to or could happen if we don't change update settings. Microsoft shouldn't be pushing it but they are and we can't do anything about that. There are many reasons that one may not want to upgrade and so let them make their own decision.

All I got were many many benefits. Please do not listen to all of the negative stuff going around out there. Jim Flusche helped a lot of us learn how to use win10 after many of us installed it. Non of us have had any trouble and the up date went exactly like it was supposed to. Go win10, upgrade, and enjoy a great reward. -Original Message- From: Singing Sparrow Sent: Sunday, December 6, 2015 2:08 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update So all my files, and programs will not be deleted or ereased?

Thank you David. That is just what I was writing about, ending this thread. Have a great day. After blindness and a double organ transplant, you can say I am as resilient as rubber, anything you throw at me I am going to bounce back from! -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: Sunday, December 6, 2015 12:09 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] if you are not ready for windows 10 beware of windows update Enough of all this bickering, I'm sick of reading all of these messages going around about do it, don't do it, ETC. If a person wants to upgrade or not it is their choice. The list is for supporting them in whatever decision they decide to make not to criticize them for going one way or another. I mean it boys and girls knock it off already, if I have to shutdown the list for a few days again to get my point across I'll do it.
