Re: Interesting reaction when I tried to run Edge from the taskbar
Well Kelley, I might have to take a look at the options to make that change, that is if I can keep Edge from beeping at me. However, maybe some how the change was made, because as I said before, it appears anyway that my Cortana search takes me to IE, at least that's the way it appeared to be with my Rio search. Hope this all makes sense to you, because it barely makes sense to me . On 8/7/2016 3:14 PM, Kelly Ford wrote: There is actually a setting deep in Edge's options that controls what happens when you search with Cortana in the Anniversary Update. If you open Edge, and find the More button and then choose settings, followed by View Advanced Settings you can find this. At that point it is faster to shift+tab and there is an item that says Optimize Task Bar Search Results for Screen Readers. If you turn that on, searches such as you've described will open in Internet Explorer specifically.

I couldn't seem to simply close edge and stop the thing. And, was it loud.

RE: Interesting reaction when I tried to run Edge from the taskbar
There is actually a setting deep in Edge's options that controls what happens when you search with Cortana in the Anniversary Update. If you open Edge, and find the More button and then choose settings, followed by View Advanced Settings you can find this. At that point it is faster to shift+tab and there is an item that says Optimize Task Bar Search Results for Screen Readers. If you turn that on, searches such as you've described will open in Internet Explorer specifically.

That is, there is no need to run any other screen reader in order to complete the process.

Hi Rick and all, Just a minor correction to my post below, namely, when I upgraded my Windows 7 Ultimate machine to Windows 10, it became Windows 10 Pro, not Ultimate.

RE: Windows 10 upgrade for assistive technology users
Thanks Rod: I run a Dell Optiplex desktop with windows 10 pro v 1511 and my updates message says I am up to date with automatic updates as well. I am old and I just want to push a button and have the products just work. That is how I design my software and expect companies to do the same but nope. They always have problems. I don't care if it is Microsofts fault, WindowEyes fault, nobodys fault - things I pay for should just flat out work. Anyway, thanks for your usual professionalism and depth of research, analysis and communication of situations like this - WindowEyes should have you on retainer me thinks.
