Hi: The problem is, from my understanding, when you boot into the recovery environment using those methods you're not actually booting up Windows PE where speech access is right away. You have to go through some menus and such that look like they're Windows but they aren't. So if you had sighted help to get through those menus and got the full recovery environment up you would be able to run Narrator. We are aware of this issue and are seeing what we can do. In the mean time, you may be able to try the command: reagentc /boottore from an elevated command prompt, this should bypass the menus and boot into WinRE.

My apologies. The narrator does not start when you use this command to reboot to advanced start menu. Shutdown /r /o. I have no idea why. It only works when you boot from DVD or USB flash drive. I guess I put my hopes too high with creators update. Sorry again. Does anybody know the difference between advanced startup menu initiated from settings, update and security, recovery/ command shutdown /r /o and the one you start from DVD or USB, repair etc. They seem to be identical, but apparently, narrator works from DVD and USB but not built-in. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Zameer Mahomed Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2017 9:30 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] OT: Windows 10 rollback assistance? Hello Anatoliy Thanks again for your reply. I guess figuring a way to start the recovery environment is my issue. If anybody knows an easy wway to do so, help would be much appreciated. I could get sighted asistance, but i was just wondering what visually impaired people would do in this type of situation.

Next I would try to roll back from Windows Recovery Environment, windows PE. I think the creators update should have narrator available in the PE mode. You just need to figure out keystroke to start windows recovery environment on your laptop. Safe mode will work as well, but you'd need sighted assistance for that.
I am not sure if system restore takes you back in time before major update like this, but could be possibility also.

Hi Anatoliy
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, the settings app opens for a few seconds and then closes automaticly.

Hi,
I think if you navigate to settings, update and security, recovery. You should be able to find roll back option if you did update not more than 10 days or so. I believe the process is straight forward and even if you get one of those welcome to my PC prompts, just turn on narrator and finish roll-back process.

Hi all.
Wonder if you guys can please help me?
After upgrading to the windows 10 creators update, I am facing some strange issues. At logon, if I manually want to enter my password, I am getting memory exception errors from windows logonUI.exe However, if I don't press any key and login using my fingerprint, I can reach the desktop. However, the issues continue: I try opening an icon on the desktop, or an app using the run command, but I get taken back to the desktop. pressing windows plus I for settings, opens the app for a second or so and then its back to the desktop.
I should note that the laptop is part of a domain. Could this perhaps be part of the issue?
More importantly, if I wanted to roll back to the previous version, is there a way to do it without any sighted assistance?
Apologies for going off-topic and for the long mail.
your help would be much appreciated. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.hodgsonfamily.org%2Flistinfo%2Fblind-sysadmins&data=02%7C01%7Cryshugar%40microsoft.com%7C3b309c74df714c3a9ebf08d4830c8b52%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636277537276010869&sdata=BtylCAJOB9aLUNoSx5b5QaE0vWUuNnvC5UdFGSzuw18%3D&reserved=0
