Hi, actually, second screen does work for me, with windows 10. As I have 100% light vision, I can confirm, personally. Sent from my iPhone 5S

One of the critical deficienciesI found in Windows 10 was non-functionality of the second screen onlytechnique. It works perfectly well on Windows 8.1, and therefore I wascompelled to roll back. Appreciate all the informative content though.Thanks.On 7/27/16, Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...> wrote:Hang on a moment, none of my machines have a monitor and I've had no issues

Hi Bhavya,
The new colour option doesn't allow for complete dimming of the screen. If
you are using a desktop, you should be able to simply leave the monitor off
(although my PC looks for the monitor connection and won't start if it
doesn't detect that the monitor is already on (which is quite annoying as
the monitor actually is on, it just takes a second or so to come on). If
you are using a laptop, you might try pressing WINDOWS+P to "Project" the
screen and choose "Second screen only" to in effect turn off your main
screen.
So what the new colour option does is simply make the Windows settings
display with white text on a black background rather than black text on
white, which is the default for most things.
You can set it in the windows options (WINDOWS+i), choose personalisation,
then colours then "Choose your app mode" and set it to "Dark" rather than
"Light".
Regards
Quentin.

Hi Quentin,
Could you elaborate a bit on the dark mode you were talking about?
Does it permit complete dimming of the screen?
Albert,
Thanks for the instructions - one thing I learnt was that Ctrl + Space
is used to unselected something. Previously, I always used to create a
random folder and then delete it to have focus on nothing, to be able
to get to the New submenu on the Desktop.
Thanks.

Hi Arlene,
Yes as you are doing now will work exactly the same in Windows 10.
It's
only if you access shut down from the Start menu that it's in a
different
place.

Hi, Quentin,
The easiest way for me to shut down is to go to the desktop, hit alt
F-4
and
hit enter. I also like the windows X, u and u keystroke too. It's
similar to
how you'd shut down in windows XP.

Hi Steve,
To be honest, one of the biggest changes I have found, is that the
start
menu is now three columns wide. The left column has user account /
file
explorer / settings / power, the middle column has recent apps then all
apps
(first letter navigation jumps straight to first app of that letter in
full
apps list), and the right column has the windows 8 style tiles. You
can
still only pin to the right column but at least you can press the
context
menu to get recent files for any program there now which is nice.
What annoys me is that to shut down from here involves:
1. Windows
2. tab (takes you to the left column first, if you'd press down arrow
you'd
have started moving down the middle app list column).
3. down arrow four times.
4. enter
5. down arrow
6. enter.
If you want to do it quicker, you can press WINDOWS+X , press U then U
again, or windows+m to go to desktop then alt+f4, or just press the
power
button on your machine (I know that last one is easiest of all, I've
just
never got into the habit of doing it as that used to be strongly
avoided
due
to data loss :)
There's a new dark mode which you can get to without a registry hack
now
which affects mostly just settings but does make it a bit easier for
some.
Regards
Quentin.

I
know
the update is out in Beta and many features have been changing
since
the earliest release. Since these updates load automatically,
are
there things we should be aware of as NVDA users?
Here's an article from "The Verge" released Monday July 25 at
