Re: Sandbox Feature of Windows
Farhan,
Thanks for the clarification. What you mean is the Windows Sandbox feature, and in this case the typo in your subject and original message was enough that I could not do the "instant self-correct" to come up with what you were referring to. I don't use it, so can't answer, but I have retitled this topic so that it's abundantly clear what you're asking about and maybe someone who is using that feature with NVDA can chime in about doing so. And, again, I thank you for asking this question in the Chat Subgroup. You clearly realized that it is about Windows Sandbox that you happen to be using NVDA to access. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 You are not entitled to your opinion.

It works like virtual machine. YOU can test software. Once you close it, whatever you have done everything will be deleted. Here is more information: https://www.howtogeek.com/399290/how-to-use-windows-10s-new-sandbox-to-safely-test-apps/

ok for those that want it go
Hi.
Looks like windows 10 21h2 is finally deploying. For those that want to try and to be honest there isn't any reason not to due to small number of changes, the update just deployed on my intel 4th gen and my ryzen 2nd gen and I am sure it will be on my other gen intel when I check on saturday. Remember to deauthorise itunes and deactive/reactivate vocaliser eloquence and anything you think you need before updating. Also note there is a new store version out. The only real thing to note is you need to go to library to update your collection. Otherwise the interface will take a bit to get used to. Nothing really was changed or noticed to be changed but there is that. Before deployment came out there were driver updates for amd displays and intel displays and wireless devices but thats about it. Nothing should stop people loading this update and its not even changing any real settings. Its all there within a few seconds.

It may have other effects of which I am not aware, as I do not use Google Docs. A web search on "Using google docs with a screen reader" turns up hundreds of documents on same, a very great many of the ones near the top of the results from Google, but there are others from third parties. Something any screen reader user needs to do before using any unfamiliar software, and particularly something produced by Google or Microsoft, is to do a web search on, "Using {insert thing here} with a screen reader." Both of these companies produce extensive documentation on how to use virtually any software they distribute in conjunction with a screen reader, and most of them "get to the guts" of any preliminary setup you may need to do to make use with a screen reader easier right up front. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 You are not entitled to your opinion.

a serious case of inaccessibility in the cryptocurrency industry
Tyler Zahnke <programmer651@...>
Hello. Why do you think so many of the world's desktop cryptocurrency
wallets are inaccessible? The commonly available cryptocurrency wallets, such as the Bitcoin Core wallet you can download from bitcoincore.org, use this QT interface that doesn't let you Ctrl-Tab around it; luckily to check your balance you can do a big read-all key like NVDA+B, but as far as tabbing to the send or receive function, it's impossible; luckily the help menu in many of these wallets has a debug feature where you can type in commands to get your address, get your balance, send coins, but as far as the actual graphical interface, you can tab around the area you're currently on, but you can't Ctrl+Tab to a different part of the window, though an NVDA+B command clearly shows the window has multiple tabs. Why has this been a problem for so long? In fact, I think every blind person and crypto technology programmer should take a few hints from Palai, located at palai.org. Yes, I know it's the website I complained about as far as the "remember me" checkbox, but that's just one little thing; most of the other checkboxes work, and sending, receiving and becoming part of the coin generating process are all accessible, therefore giving Palai a 95% accessibility rating on my scale (was 100% when that checkbox actually worked as intended) but I think all accessibility advocates who care about cryptocurrency should sign up for Palai (request referral code from me if you want), but that crypto website got a 95%, which is good compared to the 85% that most exchange websites have (it's worse since you have to often take a live picture of your ID with your phone; on sites where you can upload the picture as a GIF/JPEG, those are 90% accessible), but these external storage software wallets, at least on Windows, get more like a 30% rating; I used to give them a 0 or 1% accessibility rating, but at least they have that little command line debug where you can use the functions of the wallet with commands instead of the graphical interface, so at least I had mild success, but still, with the graphical interface not being very navigable, that dragged the rating down so low. Now I bet even the developers of Palai don't have experience with the blind, but their site is so good that, at times, you think they do; only some of the more recent changes like the remember me checkbox make you question the accessibility, but besides that everything on palai.org is unbelievably accessible. And as far as I know, there hasn't been a special crypto app just for blind people, and I've actually had people at conventions say "whatever" to me; remember, these are accessibility advocates I was talking to, but because I was talking about crypto, they said crypto was too weird/strange/foreign to them so they said they don't care about accessibility issues in that weird industry. People talk about it more and more all the time, why are accessibility advocates ignoring us? Because they think it's an insignificant technology radar blip? It's big news these days, I'm tellin' ya. I know this coin isn't on the market yet, but due to both its blind accessibility and the fact that it's designed for global economic accessibility, even in countries with a large unbanked population, I hope you sign up for palai.org and claim your free dividend; I've already seen classifieds sites and music sites and even German job searches taking this particular currency as payment, so all you accessibility advocates who care about digital assets, please check this out. But Palai isn't the main focus of this email, it's just an accessible way to get a nice free piece of a digital asset, and a site where 95% of features are accessible with screen readers. The focus of the email is, why does it feel like there's no website or desktop application that's truly accessible for regular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin? The closest we have is the Bitcoin savings account and betting game freebitco.in, but as far as sites for buying coins, due to the government ID scanning and such, doesn't this lower the accessibility a bit? Once you get the Bitcoins, I'm guessing freebitco.in is your most accessible storage place, but still, it's a web wallet; those who want to store privately have to use those 30%-accessible QT GUI wallets. The world's biggest exchange, Coinbase, would get the closest to an 85% accessibility rating I've ever given, but again, that's still a public site; freebitco.in gets a 99% rating but it's not an exchange site, so perhaps buying on Coinbase and transfering to Freebitco would be the best way for a blind person to handle their bitcoins, but still due to exchange laws, that showing of ID on Coinbase can be tough. Luckily I keep around a picture of my ID; that got me into a few sites, it's a picture of the front of my ID, but Coinbase is stricter, they need both front and back; not even sure how that works, if you would need to upload two separate images or what.

Sandbox Feature of Windows

- There has never been a feature update, not even during the fully automatic update acceptance era, that was literally "just chucked out there." The basic cohort by cohort rollout procedure has been in place since day one. What did change, and it was significant, was the removal of the fully automatic update acceptance. Feature Updates now apply only under one of two circumstances: 1. The user of the computer activates the Download and install link in the Windows Update pane to accept it. 2. The computer comes within 60 days of the end of life of whatever version happens to be running on it. Under that circumstance alone Windows Update will seek out and automatically install whatever the current version happens to be so that the machine continues using a version that's under support. I actually only know of one person where this has happened, and he "rigged" the situation by not touching an old computer he really didn't use just to see exactly what would happen if he ran out the clock on the version of Windows 10 that was running. No one's saying, least of all me, that Microsoft has not had some catastrophic mistakes, but those are not relevant to knowing how the basic feature update rollout process works, and has worked for years. At this point in time, there are very few people who have not been using Windows 10 for a couple of years now, at a minimum. I get why very late adopters would not understand the process, but the questions of the form, "How is this going to work?," with regard to feature updates often come from the same people each and every feature update cycle. How it works hasn't changed. And what's worse is that the question could be answered with an archive search or a web search. The basic process has been discussed to death. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion.

Re: Is there an easy way to rearrange Quick Launch items in Windows 10?
Gera,
One thing that tutorial doesn't make clear is whether the CTRL + ALT + Left/Right arrow command in the taskbar is a Windows command or a JAWS Command. I don't have Windows 11 to test and differentiate which it actually is, but that is important. If it's a new Windows Command it could eventually end up back ported to Windows 10. If it's not, then it won't, and other screen readers would need to implement similar functionality if enough users want it. See my post: https://winaccess.groups.io/g/winaccess/message/50888 and one by Bill White on the same topic: https://winaccess.groups.io/g/winaccess/message/50894 The entire topic is worth a read-through. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 You are not entitled to your opinion.

Is there an easy way to rearrange Quick Launch items in Windows 10?
Aside from sending you’ll Fall greetings from Mexico, I was wondering if Windows10 has an easy way to rearrange pinned items within the Windows10 Taskbar? Take a look at this video where they teach how to do this with Windows11, thus I was wondering if Windows10 has something similar? I’ve had to delete the icons and put them again, in the order I’d like them to be. Here’s the video to give you guys some ackground into what I’m wondering https://youtu.be/9Vw6LIyTgXo

Re: windows 10 21h2 deployment
Brian I suspect because there have been times where microsoft just chucked out there. Obviously after the 18.09 update they really got shot in the foot over that one. I have had updates almost straight away but yeah they are being carefull I guess. Technically I could load it since I have the media but I am in no hurry. At least I know we are garanteed at least 5 more well 5 including this one feature updates per cycle. Thats going to make things a lot easier for businesses and consumers. Its also going to make things easier on those making sure things work. So maybe more stuff will work who knows. And some stuff can take longer. For example I test the dolphin supernova line of products. And well windows 11 has only just gone live this week. At least official support.
I've just had intel and amd update certain drivers so yeah if there is any issue things are updating as they need to. Of course it goes without saying I do have the backup media for both 11 and 10 there so if I need them I can still do stuff with them.

And yet there are quite a few "long timers" who never seem to absorb anything about how this has been working. They're like blank slates at each and every feature update.
The feature update rollout process has been working as it now works for at least 3 years now, maybe a little longer, and the rollout process is always months-long with very small numbers of machines being updated in a cohort at the early stages of the rollout, with the numbers becoming larger and larger in each subsequent cohort if no unexpected issues have been detected in telemetry from the preceding cohorts. Essentially, unless you force the update with the Update Assistant or doing a feature update with the ISO file, it's always a, "You'll get it when Microsoft offers it to you in Settings, Update & Security, Windows Update Pane, and not a moment before." And when you get it, it will be offered, not installed fully automatically. The end user must activate the Download and install link to consent to the update. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 You are not entitled to your opinion.
