The Windows 10 Spring Update rolling Out

Microsoft is rolling out the Spring (or in our case Autumn) Windows 10 RS5 update.

For the latest JAWS, Zoomtext, and Fusion users there doesn’t seem to be an issue with the latest update to Windows if your running the latest versions of these packages.

Listen to FSCast 152 concerning the update, may still be an issue for Dongle users.

As far asNVDA goes, doesn’t seem to be an issue if your running (again) the latest version of NVDA.

As always, if your not sure, don’t update until you have spoken to your assistive tech person.
