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?
Thank you.

Keith Steinbach

Hi. You don’t have to remove jaws to test this. Just unload it, run NVDA and see if there is any difference in performance.

You don’t have to remove JAWS. Just unload it after it runs.
Then run NVDA.

Keith, you probably DO NOT NEED to uninstall Jaws to test out NVDA. If Jaws
starts automatically for you, how about turning that off so that Jaws DOES
NOT start at all?
Thereafter, you can launch NVDA and test out the issue you described.
Sincerely,
Olusegun

No, my sighted cousin said that it was not this
slow before he handed it over to me after the upgrade from 8.1 to windows
10.

I hope you meant gHZ and not mHGZ processor lol. Your 4GB of ram is probably the problem. I have a Surface Pro first generation (which I’m writing on to you right now), and it really can’t handle more than a few apps running at a time with JAWS running. It’s fine for basic tasks, but anything complex would not work well on this particular PC. If your ram isn’t soldered onto the board, you might be able to upgrade the ram. However, knowing your processor speed would help. One other question. Do you have any idea if it’s a 64 bit or 32 bit of windows? If I were you, and I did absolutely nothing else, I would upgrade that ram past 4 gigabytes. Because 4 gig is a very small amount for Windows 10 with screen readers running. Unless you’re doing just very basic tasks. John Sent from Mail for Windows

By a few apps, I mean a few browser tabs, the mail app, the weather app and Messenger. You look at the task manager and you can just see the system is taxed to above 80% or more in ram usage. 4 gigs isn’t really enough these days. John Sent from Mail for Windows

Have you checked to see what apps are running in the background? With that little ram any extra app running that doesn’t need to be should be turned off at startup unless it needs to run for some reason. An SSD could help you too. John Sent from Mail for Windows

Your 4GB of ram is probably the problem.
I have a Surface Pro first generation (which I’m writing on
to you right now), and it really can’t handle more than a few apps
running at a time with JAWS running.
It’s fine for basic tasks, but anything complex would not
work well on this particular PC.
If your ram isn’t soldered onto the board, you might be
able to upgrade the ram. However, knowing your processor speed would help. One
other question. Do you have any idea if it’s a 64 bit or 32 bit of
windows?
If I were you, and I did absolutely nothing else, I would
upgrade that ram past 4 gigabytes. Because 4 gig is a very small amount
for Windows 10 with screen readers running. Unless you’re doing just very
basic tasks.

With that little ram any extra app running that doesn’t
need to be should be turned off at startup unless it needs to run for some
reason.
An SSD could help you too.

By a few apps, I mean a few browser tabs, the mail app, the
weather app and Messenger. You look at the task manager and you can just
see the system is taxed to above 80% or more in ram usage.
4 gigs isn’t really enough these days.

See what your RAM use is. I don’t know if it accounts or partly
accounts for the slowdown or not. You can see how much RAM is being used
in the Windows Task Manager. Those who use Windows 10 can tell you how to
frind out. I don’t use Windows 10 and the interface may not be the same as
in Windows 7.
