David, I am experiencing some similar behavior. Was your computer one that was upgeraded from Windows 7 to 10 and then to the Anniversary Edition? I am looking at trying the PC Reset but have been holding back thinking I might need to reinstall all my personal files, but maybe it is worth a try as you describe.

As an example, if I entered the run dialog, Window-eyes would just read the currently selected desktop icon when I tried to enter text, even though the dialog was open. Chris suggested that my antivirus program may have quarantined certain components of Window-eyes and this suggestion sounded reasonable and I was willing to pursue it. However, I was also experiencing several other issues, totally unrelated to accessibility and I decided to perform a reset. I did the reset, choosing to keep personal files and my problems, including the odd accessibility quirks with Window-eyes, were gone. I just wanted to post this update. _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
