Locked Windows App Essentials 22.09.1 #addonrelease
|
Hi all, Windows App Essentials 22.09.1 is now available: https://github.com/josephsl/wintenApps/releases/download/22.09/wintenApps-22.09.1.nvda-addon
You can download the release now or wait until Add-on Updater and similar tools offer it to you.
This release should be considered optional to critical update depending on which NVDA version you are using at the moment:
Version 22.09.1 includes a critical fix for NVDA alpha snapshot users where recent (and upcoming) builds may announce UIA powered drag and drop effects multiple times. In short, a future version of NVDA (likely 2022.4) will improve accessible drag and drop support, meaning you won’t need Windows App Essentials to hear announcements such as what happens when you rearrange Windows 10 Start menu tiles or quick settings items in Windows 11. In some cases, after installing the add-on update, you won’t hear focused item after dragging items, and that’s something I have no solution for… or rather, I’m preparing users for what will happen with future NVDA releases; I will let you experience it in upcoming Windows App Essentials add-on releases (if you are using dev builds of this add-on, you know what’s up) as early as October.
Note that Windows App Essentials 22.09.1 was queued for distribution on community add-ons website. But if you want to get it early, you can do it now by selecting the download link provided, or install Add-on Updater 22.09 and see the add-on update being offered to you by this time tomorrow (set add-on update source to community add-ons website). Cheers, Joseph |

I still use 7 on a day to day basis, but that is due in the main to legacy software for bespoke uses. Brian -- bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.(Virgin media) Please address personal E-mail to:- briang1@..., putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field. ----- Original Message -----

Hi, Speaking as the author of Windows App Essentials: may I ask that when discussing this add-on that we DO NOT bring up Windows 7 anymore (please)? Cheers, Joseph |

Yes but sometimes you see, x happens in an add on, and it can be of use to know that its also the case on older versions of windows.

I've not found many things not to work myself, but as this thread is about windows essentials, and this used to be called win 10 essentials, I'd hardly be using this on a windows 7 machine, so I sometimes point out that the issue is not in the win 10 essentials add on its probably elsewhere in those cases. Helps with the diagnostics, though a few minutes looking at the debug level log normally shows clearly if an add on has been implicated in a problem. Brian -- bglists@...

I just wrote this. pointing out that if a problem somebody thought was your add on if it happens in win 7 which does not use it, to me it proves the error is elsewhere.

Hi, I get that. The cool thing is, Windows App Essentials will not even run on Windows 7 - one of the first things the add-on does when NVDA starts is check if you've got a compatible Windows 10 or 11 release, so on Windows 7, people can safely assume that the add-on will not cause problems unless an app is using the same executable name as that of a Windows 10 or 11 app. Cheers, Joseph |

I received it shortly after posting the message. I've had occasions where an add-on wasn't offered through Add-on Updater, and I've had to use the direct links to perform a manual download. Thanks, Louise |

I can't blame him for asking this, because win 7 is dead and has ben for 3 years. Things do move on that is call progress.

Those who wish to continue using a supported version of NVDA had ought to take this on board and update to Windows 10 if they still have Windows 7. The moment that NVDA drops support for Windows 7 I will assiduously enforce (as I do now) the rule about discussion of out-of-support (by both NVDA and Windows) software being inappropriate on the NVDA main group. [The Chat Subgroup is open season, and most conversation there is about how to use specific pieces of software where the "screen reader aspect" is incidental.] People need to realize that it is difficult enough to deal with the combinations of things that actually remain in support, and it is not a good use of valuable time to keep "clutching corpses." -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 It is well to open one's mind but only as a preliminary to closing it . . . for the supreme act of judgment and selection. ~ Irving Babbitt |

My advice there bears repeating: Go to the Microsoft Windows 10 Download Page, then activate the Update Now button/link to force an update to 21H2 (the November 2021 update). Everyone, whether using Windows 10 or Windows 11, should be on Version 21H2 at the moment. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 It is well to open one's mind but only as a preliminary to closing it . . . for the supreme act of judgment and selection. ~ Irving Babbitt |

Go to settings, windows update and look forthe download and install button and this should give you the latest version. BTW What do you get when you type winver into the run box? You should be at 22hblea as that is the latest windows 10. HTH.

You will not be getting 22XX by checking for windows updates, only 21H2. And if a machine is currently saying anything earlier than 21H2 when winver is run, and it's been connected to the internet, something's wrong with Windows Update itself, so relying on it in any way makes no sense. An external update method, such as the Update Now button on the Windows 10/11 Download Site, or an ISO-based update should be used to overcome whatever it is that's prevented the machine from updating normally in the first place. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 It is well to open one's mind but only as a preliminary to closing it . . . for the supreme act of judgment and selection. ~ Irving Babbitt |
