<b>Wifi flyout menu difficult to use with screen reader</b> - Due to confusing focus management and inadequate audio feedback, it can be difficult connecting to some wifi networks while using JAWS. This is more-so the case with wifi networks that display a
warning message (e.g. "Continue connecting? If you expect to find eduroam in this location...."). Video demo of issue:

<b>Windows settings overwritten after update </b>- "Settings are continuously overwritten every time there's an update which can take up to a half-hour. Mouse driver for my touchpad works like crap with the newest driver version. I roll it back to a previous
version which works better and then the Windows update reverses this at the next update and I have to start all over again." -H<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">

"I can no longer schedule updates at my convenience<b> </b>even with workarounds, and I will walk away from my laptop for a few hours and come back and find it either updating, or it just finished an update and rebooted. This despite telling it not to do updates
except in the middle of the night. I spend twenty minutes trying to get everything back open again and of course it didn’t save anything it should have saved, so I’ve got all these random documents that now need to be saved, but can’t be saved over their original
file name, but need a NEW file name. " - S<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">

Does this in spite of my settings for updates only at night when the system is idle.

I wonder if “update at night” gets mis-translated to the foreign Microsoft engineers whose “night” is our working daytime . Whose “night” are we talking about? "<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">
"EVERY TIME Windows 10 updates, it messes everything up. I found a hack online somewhere so I could get it stop automatically installing the updates.
<br>
<br>
Now when the dialog pops up because there's an update, I dismiss it, It still opens the update window but I can just close it now instead of waiting for the update to complete. It's annoying but it beats Windows updating whenever it wants to.
<br>
<br>
I'm actually afraid to do anymore Windows 10 updates. I keep dismissing them because installing them means I end up having to google all sorts of things to get everything back to the way it was. Sometimes I can't get it back to the way it was because they remove
useful features that give users choices outside of the Microsoft ecosystem. I never know what to expect from an update and it has cost time and productivity every single time I've allowed an update to happen." - A<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
