I have a question..
, was it always this slow?
Is it slow for others without the screen reader
running?

Subject: [TechTalk] how do I uninstall jaws from my
windows 10 laptop?
I have a laptop that
originally came with windows 8.1 and that my cousin upgraded to windows 10
when windows offered the free upgrade.
I have jaws and NVDA
installed on the computer and I have had one member of this list remotely
enter my system to help me configure thunderbird to be used as my email
client.
I noticed after my
cousin gave me my computer back, with the upgraded version of windows 10 on
it that it was slow, like someone reading braille by letter by letter,
but after they read the first letter, they have to check their learning
braille books for the next letter one by one, on and on until they have the
complete word spelled out and then they move on to the next letter. I
can click con a link or option in the various windows or what not and
walk away from the computer for about 2 to 3 minutes and I will hear the
computer just starting to do what I want it to do.
even the person who
helped me remotely said "man, your computer is exceedingly slow" have
you degragged the hard drive. my answer: yes, several
times.
I have removed apps,
programs, ect and to no avail.
so, I have
asked here on the list and have had some luck from gene and perhaps 2 or 3
other people with helpful suggestions or websites to look
at.
my cousin who
upgraded the computer from windows 8 to windows 10
said that it
was probably the screen reading program that was slowing my system down.
So, I wish to do a test. I wish to remove jaws and run NVDA on it
to test to see if jaws is the issue. yes, I know, I know, why would the
premier screen reading software company cause such a slow down on a system,
but the whole "resetting" the computer to a "fresh copy of windows 10" did
nothing to fix the issue, if I did it correctly via a webpage from the virge
that gene had posted to the group.
I do not wish to
start a debate between members regarding resetting in windows 10 and
restetting iin earlier versions as the word has ddifferent meanings in
different versions of windows.
So, bottom of the
line, how do I remove a program from a windows 10
computer?
