Well I have done it. as of November 4, or 5 my JFW will no longer work. it is still on the laptop, but I will get that removed as soon as I am done reading the fan fic I am reading. So basically, I am now on #NVDA for the fore seeable future. there is a reactivate button, if I choose to do this before the fifth. the fifth of next month is when I would be charged for it, so there you go. If something doesn't work with NVDA, I just won't use it I guess.

@NVAccess well one program I love to use instead of task manager NVDA doesn't work with. when you up and down threw the list of processes, NVDA will not read them at all. the version I use is rather old, as the newer versions of it wouldn't even work with JFW. if you want to take a look at it, here is a zip file of the one I use. I run the 64 bit exe, but here is the zip file for process explorer.

You can get the old (Windows 7-era) Task Manager back, which has the advantage of not being hideously slow:

I also found a couple of articles about alternative programs it might be worth exploring (note these are mainstream articles so don't necessarily consider accessibility):

xda-developers.com/alternative…

digitalcitizen.life/best-free-…

windowsforum.com/threads/top-4…

techviral.net/alternatives-to-…

tweaklibrary.com/windows-task-…

Hopefully there is something in all of those!

@NVAccess I will say the one thing I really like ab out the program I use are two things. one is that I have it set up so that it shows up in my system gray, and if the CPU usage is over 2 percent, I not only see what it is, but what is using the most, so for example, it might say something like CPU usage: 10 percent, NVDA.exe 5 percent. the other thing I like, is another option I can have it show me in the system tray is how much ram I am using.
