Sluggish Boot on Windows 10

Updating to windows 10
A year or so ago, when I had to update my RealTek audio driver on my Dell desktop computer, I called the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk, and an agent did it for me. So, that's your best bet.

JAWS: Space Markers in Word
Wow! Thank you all so much for your responses. Pressing Alt plus H and then the number 8 seems to have solved the problem. Yipee Skippee!

JAWS: Space Markers in Word
I'm not finding the option to remove space markers in either the home ribbon or the options. Since this doesn't happen with NVDA, I'm assuming it's a JAWS issue. But if someone knows how I can fix it

JAWS Versus NVDA
I've been using NVDA for a couple of years, but I'm wondering if it's time for a switch. Lately, the software update process has been driving me up the wall. Apparently, the latest version, due out so

If this is anything like the Facebook desktop app, it's not worth the effort. The best way I've found to send and receive messages through Facebook on a PC is by going to https://mbasic.facebook.com/h

In the settings under autofill, there should be a checkbox you can check. It's been a while since I've adjusted mine, so I don't remember exactly how I did it. I hope that helps.

Victor Stream second gen keeps playing old stream on radio station.
This sounds like an issue with the station. I'm assuming it's in your favorites. Have you tried deleting it and then searching for it again?
