Jim,
Not a problem. All I wanted to do was to make you aware of the Windows 10 for Screen Reader Users Group.

I know and apologize. I attempted to delete it from the groups.io website but obviously once it hits a mail client that's that.
Not sure why control r didn't work this time, but that's my fault
for sending an email at 1 in the morning and failing to check the

Hi Anthony
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I don't know of a way to do this via the windows update route but you can upgrade Windows via other methods. For instance you could use the Windows Media Creation tool to create installation media and do a clean install. This will also get rid of bloatware which is on your system and free up some disk space. Have a look at this article which looks at various methods of updating Windows: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/overcoming-windows-10-upgrade-and-version-update/682df9cf-aecf-4d52-8df7-19e9f8dba4cc#Main Cheers Chris

Re: O T, windows update

Hi Jim I am not experiencing any significant issues. NVDA reads out some extraneous text items when I access the Settings App, for which I posted a message on the NVDA list. Apparently the text items are something to do with Active Directory parameters and do not affect everyone who moves to 1809. They are a bit annoying but don’t affect the use of the settings app in any way and there is probably a way to get rid of them but they’re too insignificant to bother about really.

Hello Chris,
Thank you very much for that re assurance, it is much appreciated. Are you having any problems with the new version? my needs are not very complex. I have loads of disc space available, so it may have been just a generic message, and I did block it from the start. I know this is a bit off topic, but others may benifit from your explanation.
Best Regards, Jim.
Hi This will be the update to Windows 1809 which I installed last week and prior to that I had similar messages. This is what is known as a feature update and is different to normal updates as it creates a Windows.Old folder containing the previous Windows version, which gives you the option to revert back to the previous version if you want. The Windows.Old folder on my system is just over 8Gb in size and I suspect the message about making space available you are getting, relates to having enough disk space to accommodate this folder. Windows.Old will automatically deleted after a few weeks, giving time for you to get used to the new Windows version.
Your system may have attempted to update to 1809 but doesn’t have sufficient disk space available. Have a look in Settings (Windows+i), Update and Security, Windows Update then tab to “View Update History”. You should be able to check what is happening in there.
Cheers Chris

Hello,
My a pologies for the off topic message, but has anyone had a similar experience as I am having at the moment. Several weeks ago I got a message purporting to come from Microsoft asking me to free up space for a new update which was larger than normal, I chose to be reminded later, since then the message changed to a choice of “pick a time”or “remind me later”, now it is saying either “restart now” or “wait an hour”. So far I have not allowed this update, has anyone else had this experience, it seems a different procedure to earlier updates, by the way I have version 1803 at the moment. Thank you for any comments and advice.
Best Regards, Jim.

If its any consolation to you. I just installee Itunes as I bought an I phone and am not getting far with trying to find my way around it.

Re: Firefox and Extensions' section

I'm not sure, but I think the version before that one worked correctly. Somebody needs to make a ticket on the Firefox bug tracker or it can be put on the nvda one if you want, and maybe Jamie can advise as he was on there the other day trying to understand a different issue in Firefox, I noticed.

This though is a Firefox issue as it was working before. I only went there to check prompted by this thread, and as has been said, I knew it was working earlier. Incidentally which version of Windows is everyone using, windows 7 or does it not matter? Its a minor issue but annoying nonetheless if you want to add or look at what other add ons are installed.

Maybe when the new version of nvda comes out those issues will go away. Just my thoughts.
