Stupid JAWS update broke my work laptop.
I hope I'm not, but worry that I am, coming down with something.

Updating my work laptop is a bit of a chore as I have to do some dancing with the Beyond Trust elevation system the guys have installed on it before I can run the installer. This means I can't just run the updater from the help menu.

@andrew I'm allowed a local admin account for installs. SO it's a bit of a pain to reboot into it, but nothing more complex than that

@andrew Lucky. I have to request each individual update and *then* install it at a time that suits the IT department. Which, as luck would have it, is never when I'm having a quiet period.

@andrew And the icing on the cake. If I don't get the update installed within 2 days, they remove the software.

@fireborn How are they checking if that is the latest release, do they have some sort of release tracker? Is that with JFW or NVDA?

@fireborn Wow that's quite impressive. We're supposed to have that at our place but they still manage to install really old versions of Firefox and Chrome through pushed rollouts.

Yeah that would be how I did it if I was to set these things up.
