Hi all,



Some updates on Windows 10 Anniversary Update as of June 8, 2016:



General:

· Version: It’ll be labeled as Windows 10 Version 1607 (called
“Anniversary Update” in marketing literature).

· Build number: Likely 14000 series.

· Screen reader compatibility: JAWS 16.0.4350 or later,
Window-Eyes 9.3 or later, NVDA 2015.3 or later, other screen readers
declaring support for Windows 10.

· Recommended screen reader versions: JAWS 17 or later (you
might want to hold off until 18 enters beta testing phase), Window-Eyes
9.3 or later, NVDA 2016.2 or later (please hold off until 2016.3 at the
earliest as yours truly and others are working on some fixes at the
moment), screen readers known to work well under Windows 10 Version 1511
(Threshold 2) but may need to be updated.



Hardware requirements:

· 1 GHz or faster X86 or X64 CPU’s supporting Physical Address
Extension (PAE), Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) version 2 and No
Execute (NX) feature. These include later Intel Pentium 4 models,
Pentium D, Core and others (including Core I series), AMD Athlon 64
(2003 version) and later, Phenom family, APU’s and FX processors (2011
and later).

· Requires at least 2 GB of RAM for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

· 64-bit versions will require CPU’s supporting the following
instructions: CMPXCHG16B (Compare and eXchange 128 bits), PREFETCHW
(part of 3D Now! Instructions), LAHF/SAHF (Load/Store flags into a CPU
register). Supported CPU’s include certain Pentium models, Core II, Core
I3/I5/I7, AMD Phenom family, FX (Bulldozer family) and APU’s.

· Windows Hello (new authentication technology) requires
fingerprint reader or other biometric authentication device, a
high-definition camera capable of iris scans.

· Continuum (user interface mode switching) requires capable
hardware such as two-in-one’s.

· Speech recognition and Cortana voice mode requires a microphone.

· Others are same as Windows 10 RTM/Version 1507/10240 and
Version 1511/10586.



Screen reader specifics:

· Narrator: New mobile voices (faster rate, better
responsiveness), scan mode (similar to virtual cursor/browse mode in
other screen readers), enhanced verbosity control, developer mode
emulating what would happen if screen is turned off, use of item
navigation (caps lock+left/right arrows) is a must in universal apps.

· JAWS for Windows: One user reports that recent Insider build
has fixed issues with JAWS 16 compatibility, 17 is stable for the most
part, no toast notifications announced (unless help balloon announcement
is enabled (please confirm)), no compatibility with Edge, touch cursor
usage is a must for universal apps.

· Window-Eyes: Stable in some situations, no compatibility with
Edge.

· NonVisual Desktop Access: No more “invalid entry” announcement
as of build 14361, Edge support broken (more on this later), object
navigation is a must for universal apps.



Microsoft Edge:

· Extensions comes to Edge.

· Websites can send notifications, which will be picked up by
Action Center and shown as a toast.

· Due to internal changes to Edge and its UIA attributes, no
screen reader apart from Narrator has solid support (some Edge controls
do work with NVDA, but browse mode cannot be used in Edge itself (NV
Access is investigating this)).

· Please do not use Edge as your primary browser yet.



Start menu:

· Revised navigation strategy required (pressing TAB will move
you between search field, pinned apps, all apps and navigation pane).

· First letter navigation partially returns in all apps view.



Shell:

· Ability to pin app windows so it’ll be shown across virtual
desktops (options related to this has been added to context menu shown
for apps in Task View).

· Added a command to open time/calendar window (Windows+Alt+D),
introduced in build 14361.



File Explorer:

· Maximum length of file paths in NTFS volumes has been
increased (no more 260 character limit for path).



Settings:

· New navigation strategy required. Specifically, when you first
open Settings app, search field will be focused, so press TAB to go to
categories list. Press ENTER on categories, press TAB at least once to
move to subcategories.

· Insider Program is now housed under Settings/Update.

· Control when updates will be installed as well as active hours.

· Taskbar settings moved to Settings.

· Certain Wi-Fi Sense features (sharing Wi-Fi passwords with
contacts) has been removed.

· Reorganized settings in Settings app, including System,
Personalization and Update.

· Press Control+E to move to search field.



Action Center:

· More than four quick actions can be specified and configured
from Settings/System/Notifications and Actions.

· Quick actions is now a grid of checkboxes. Press Windows+A,
then press TAB to go to quick actions list, and use the arrow keys to
select the desired quick action.



Cortana:

· Offers music recognition service.

· Ability to use Cortana from lock screen without signing into
MS account (for basic tasks).

· Music playback (using Groove Pass).

· Set timers.

· More proactive in offering reminders.

· Monitor battery level on mobile devices (mostly Windows 10
Mobile) and alert the pC user if mobile device battery is getting low.

· Sync notifications between Windows 10 PC, Windows 10 Mobile
and Android.



Subsystem for Linux:

· Run user-mode Ubuntu tools such as BASH (Bourne Again SHell),
Git, Python and various tools.

· Update packages with Advanced Packaging Tool (APT/apt-get).

· Understands Linux kernel API from Linux 3.4.

· Cannot run kernel-mode modules (yes, you cannot run Speakup).

· Available in 64-bit version (for now).



Hope this helps.

Hi all,



Some updates on Windows 10 Anniversary Update as of
June 8, 2016:



General:

· Version: It’ll be labeled as Windows 10 Version 1607
(called “Anniversary Update” in marketing literature).

· Build number: Likely 14000 series.

· Screen reader compatibility: JAWS 16.0.4350 or
later, Window-Eyes 9.3 or later, NVDA 2015.3 or later, other
screen readers declaring support for Windows 10.

· Recommended screen reader versions: JAWS 17 or later
(you might want to hold off until 18 enters beta testing
phase), Window-Eyes 9.3 or later, NVDA 2016.2 or later (please
hold off until 2016.3 at the earliest as yours truly and
others are working on some fixes at the moment), screen
readers known to work well under Windows 10 Version 1511
(Threshold 2) but may need to be updated.



Hardware requirements:

· 1 GHz or faster X86 or X64 CPU’s supporting Physical
Address Extension (PAE), Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE)
version 2 and No Execute (NX) feature. These include later
Intel Pentium 4 models, Pentium D, Core and others (including
Core I series), AMD Athlon 64 (2003 version) and later, Phenom
family, APU’s and FX processors (2011 and later).

· Requires at least 2 GB of RAM for both 32-bit and
64-bit versions.

· 64-bit versions will require CPU’s supporting the
following instructions: CMPXCHG16B (Compare and eXchange 128
bits), PREFETCHW (part of 3D Now! Instructions), LAHF/SAHF
(Load/Store flags into a CPU register). Supported CPU’s
include certain Pentium models, Core II, Core I3/I5/I7, AMD
Phenom family, FX (Bulldozer family) and APU’s.

· Windows Hello (new authentication technology)
requires fingerprint reader or other biometric authentication
device, a high-definition camera capable of iris scans.

· Continuum (user interface mode switching) requires
capable hardware such as two-in-one’s.

· Speech recognition and Cortana voice mode requires a
microphone.

· Others are same as Windows 10 RTM/Version 1507/10240
and Version 1511/10586.



Screen reader specifics:

· Narrator: New mobile voices (faster rate, better
responsiveness), scan mode (similar to virtual cursor/browse
mode in other screen readers), enhanced verbosity control,
developer mode emulating what would happen if screen is turned
off, use of item navigation (caps lock+left/right arrows) is a
must in universal apps.

· JAWS for Windows: One user reports that recent
Insider build has fixed issues with JAWS 16 compatibility, 17
is stable for the most part, no toast notifications announced
(unless help balloon announcement is enabled (please
confirm)), no compatibility with Edge, touch cursor usage is a
must for universal apps.

· Window-Eyes: Stable in some situations, no
compatibility with Edge.

· NonVisual Desktop Access: No more “invalid entry”
announcement as of build 14361, Edge support broken (more on
this later), object navigation is a must for universal apps.



Microsoft Edge:

· Extensions comes to Edge.

· Websites can send notifications, which will be
picked up by Action Center and shown as a toast.

· Due to internal changes to Edge and its UIA
attributes, no screen reader apart from Narrator has solid
support (some Edge controls do work with NVDA, but browse mode
cannot be used in Edge itself (NV Access is investigating
this)).

· Please do not use Edge as your primary browser yet.



Start menu:

· Revised navigation strategy required (pressing TAB
will move you between search field, pinned apps, all apps and
navigation pane).

· First letter navigation partially returns in all
apps view.



Shell:

· Ability to pin app windows so it’ll be shown across
virtual desktops (options related to this has been added to
context menu shown for apps in Task View).

· Added a command to open time/calendar window
(Windows+Alt+D), introduced in build 14361.



File Explorer:

· Maximum length of file paths in NTFS volumes has
been increased (no more 260 character limit for path).



Settings:

· New navigation strategy required. Specifically, when
you first open Settings app, search field will be focused, so
press TAB to go to categories list. Press ENTER on categories,
press TAB at least once to move to subcategories.

· Insider Program is now housed under Settings/Update.

· Control when updates will be installed as well as
active hours.

· Taskbar settings moved to Settings.

· Certain Wi-Fi Sense features (sharing Wi-Fi
passwords with contacts) has been removed.

· Reorganized settings in Settings app, including
System, Personalization and Update.

· Press Control+E to move to search field.



Action Center:

· More than four quick actions can be specified and
configured from Settings/System/Notifications and Actions.

· Quick actions is now a grid of checkboxes. Press
Windows+A, then press TAB to go to quick actions list, and use
the arrow keys to select the desired quick action.



Cortana:

· Offers music recognition service.

· Ability to use Cortana from lock screen without
signing into MS account (for basic tasks).

· Music playback (using Groove Pass).

· Set timers.

· More proactive in offering reminders.

· Monitor battery level on mobile devices (mostly
Windows 10 Mobile) and alert the pC user if mobile device
battery is getting low.

· Sync notifications between Windows 10 PC, Windows 10
Mobile and Android.

· Run user-mode Ubuntu tools such as BASH (Bourne

This actually does sound pretty cool. I can't wait to see how Narrator turns out. I'm always hoping that it'll become a fully-featured screen reader some day.

(you might want to hold off until 18 enters beta testing
phase), Window-Eyes 9.3 or later, NVDA 2016.2 or later (please
hold off until 2016.3 at the earliest as yours truly and
others are working on some fixes at the moment), screen
readers known to work well under Windows 10 Version 1511
(Threshold 2) but may need to be updated.



Hardware requirements:

· 1 GHz or faster X86 or X64 CPU’s supporting Physical
Address Extension (PAE), Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE)
version 2 and No Execute (NX) feature. These include later
Intel Pentium 4 models, Pentium D, Core and others (including
Core I series), AMD Athlon 64 (2003 version) and later, Phenom
family, APU’s and FX processors (2011 and later).

· Requires at least 2 GB of RAM for both 32-bit and
64-bit versions.

· 64-bit versions will require CPU’s supporting the
following instructions: CMPXCHG16B (Compare and eXchange 128
bits), PREFETCHW (part of 3D Now! Instructions), LAHF/SAHF
(Load/Store flags into a CPU register). Supported CPU’s
include certain Pentium models, Core II, Core I3/I5/I7, AMD
Phenom family, FX (Bulldozer family) and APU’s.

· Windows Hello (new authentication technology)
requires fingerprint reader or other biometric authentication
device, a high-definition camera capable of iris scans.

· Continuum (user interface mode switching) requires
capable hardware such as two-in-one’s.

· Speech recognition and Cortana voice mode requires a
microphone.

· Others are same as Windows 10 RTM/Version 1507/10240
and Version 1511/10586.



Screen reader specifics:

· Narrator: New mobile voices (faster rate, better
responsiveness), scan mode (similar to virtual cursor/browse
mode in other screen readers), enhanced verbosity control,
developer mode emulating what would happen if screen is turned
off, use of item navigation (caps lock+left/right arrows) is a
must in universal apps.

· JAWS for Windows: One user reports that recent
Insider build has fixed issues with JAWS 16 compatibility, 17
is stable for the most part, no toast notifications announced
(unless help balloon announcement is enabled (please
confirm)), no compatibility with Edge, touch cursor usage is a
must for universal apps.

· Window-Eyes: Stable in some situations, no
compatibility with Edge.

· NonVisual Desktop Access: No more “invalid entry”
announcement as of build 14361, Edge support broken (more on
this later), object navigation is a must for universal apps.



Microsoft Edge:

· Extensions comes to Edge.

· Websites can send notifications, which will be
picked up by Action Center and shown as a toast.

· Due to internal changes to Edge and its UIA
attributes, no screen reader apart from Narrator has solid
support (some Edge controls do work with NVDA, but browse mode
cannot be used in Edge itself (NV Access is investigating
this)).

· Please do not use Edge as your primary browser yet.



Start menu:

· Revised navigation strategy required (pressing TAB
will move you between search field, pinned apps, all apps and
navigation pane).

· First letter navigation partially returns in all
apps view.



Shell:

· Ability to pin app windows so it’ll be shown across
virtual desktops (options related to this has been added to
context menu shown for apps in Task View).

· Added a command to open time/calendar window
(Windows+Alt+D), introduced in build 14361.



File Explorer:

· Maximum length of file paths in NTFS volumes has
been increased (no more 260 character limit for path).



Settings:

· New navigation strategy required. Specifically, when
you first open Settings app, search field will be focused, so
press TAB to go to categories list. Press ENTER on categories,
press TAB at least once to move to subcategories.

· Insider Program is now housed under Settings/Update.

· Control when updates will be installed as well as
active hours.

· Taskbar settings moved to Settings.

· Certain Wi-Fi Sense features (sharing Wi-Fi
passwords with contacts) has been removed.

· Reorganized settings in Settings app, including
System, Personalization and Update.

· Press Control+E to move to search field.



Action Center:

· More than four quick actions can be specified and
configured from Settings/System/Notifications and Actions.

· Quick actions is now a grid of checkboxes. Press
Windows+A, then press TAB to go to quick actions list, and use
the arrow keys to select the desired quick action.



Cortana:

· Offers music recognition service.

· Ability to use Cortana from lock screen without
signing into MS account (for basic tasks).

· Music playback (using Groove Pass).

· Set timers.

· More proactive in offering reminders.

· Monitor battery level on mobile devices (mostly
Windows 10 Mobile) and alert the pC user if mobile device
battery is getting low.

· Sync notifications between Windows 10 PC, Windows 10
Mobile and Android.



Subsystem for Linux:

· Run user-mode Ubuntu tools such as BASH (Bourne
Again SHell), Git, Python and various tools.

· Update packages with Advanced Packaging Tool
(APT/apt-get).

· Understands Linux kernel API from Linux 3.4.

· Cannot run kernel-mode modules (yes, you cannot run
Speakup).

· Available in 64-bit version (for now).



Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Joseph
