In Windows 7, we had the option to adjust screen resolution, DPI (set custom text size) and color metrics to suit accessibility needs. I prefer to have the Tahoma font globally as this is very clear of all.

In Windows 10 I realise that the resolution changes and Custom Display Setting are mutually dependent and automatically changes. In Window colour metrics the option to change the colours, font type are missing. In Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display has some customizing options, the ability to update the font type has been removed.

Can we please bring this feature back asap?

STEPS in Windows 7: Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization through Windows Color and Appearance, we were able to access the Colour Matrix. From the Advanced appearance settings when we launch the Window Colour and Appearance dialog, for all text based controls, we were able to change the font size, colour and font type. This font type feature and the font size feature for each items changed the global settings and this was one of the very useful feature in windows as all apps inherited these settings.

Hello, I am a frequent user of Microsoft word and have recently realized that your selection of highlighting colours is quite limited. I am suggesting you should included a wider variety of colours such as an orange or even some pastel variety similar to what are available on Microsoft one note. being a student i am often having to highlight documents and am constantly limited with my selection of highlighting colours as you do not provide a simple colour such as orange. I think this would be an easy addition to your program and would assist many students like myself in their studies.

Issue present in Win XP, 7, 8, 10 (including latest fast ring)

Summary
When using sticky keys on windows 10, the left and right sides control (ctrl), Alt and shift keys are independently activated without a visual display or sound, making it clear enoughdifficult to distinguish between left and right sides. Further when activating the right hand side sticky keys with the setting of double press activate (push the key twice and it not only toggles but it holds down the key pushed indefinitely) it can be override by the left keys one push if the right key was the original activated sticky key.
Essentially the sounds that let users know the activation of a sticky key has occurred, do not respect whether it was the left or right (or whether its first shift/ctrl/alt key or the second).
Why this is important
There are systems that allow you to use the left or right shift key (and alt/ctrl keys) for different shortcuts/functions and if you are not able to hear the difference or see it and you rely either on the audio or visual cues then it becomes less clear which key you activated or if you have to use another key later the display does not tell you which key it was.
Simple Recommendation
Change the notification area icon to show left and right modifier keys easily and change the sounds so that it is clear which key is being activated/de-activated. In other words, have a set of notification icons for the left side sticky keys (shift/ctrl/win/alt), and have a set of notification icons for the right side sticky keys (shift/alt /win/ ctrl)
Steps to reproduce the issues
The issue of the independent keys without separate sounds or display notifications:
The following is an example with the Shift key, however, this is also the same for the Crtl and Alt keys.
1. Activate sticky keys
2. Activate/Press the left shift key and note that the toggle menu on the notification area and the sound alerts you to its activation (you will need to presspush twice to activate the key indefinitely/lock the modifier key on and this should be the default setting from the windows control panel section for sticky keys).
3. Now activate/press the right sticky shift key, as you do you will note that it makes the same sounds but does not change the display icon in the notifications area.
4. Now attempt to deactivate/press the right key, you will notice the sound is correct to alert you to the deactivation but the display area icon does not change.
5. Now deactivates/press the left key and you will hear the correct deactivation/press sound and see the display area change.
6. This can be proved by trying it with the left or right sticky keys for the first key when the double push option is turned off from the control panel (meaning that the sticky key feature works as a toggle to hold down your selected keys for only one natural symbol on the keyboard as opposed to indefinitely holding down the keys).
The issue or item of the left key overriding the right key:
1. Repeat step one and two from above but using the right shift key this time (with the double press to lock\ modifier key enabled from the control panel. enabled
2. Push the left shift key once and you will note the sound is correct and the display shows the shift stick keys deactivated.

The issue for different disabilities:
1. For physical disabilities, unnecessary movements of great distances from one side to the other side of the keyboard can cause user fatigue and extra time doing computer activities.
2. For cognitive or learning disabilities, the lack of clear functions can cause an inability to perform day-to-day tasks with ease and efficiency

This does not tie into OneNote but there was no category for me. It’s an application idea.

Microsoft offers many applications such as Word, PowerPoint, calendar, Sway, etc. The only thing they are lacking is a classroom.

Most schools use Microsoft as there document storage for students, I know I do. However, teachers must use Google Classroom or Band to create a virtual classroom with there students. It would be so nice to be able to send my work to my teacher without sharing or emailing it. Google Classroom is great but not if your school is Microsoft based and there can’t hand in your document in Google Classroom.

My point: an assignment turn in and reminder application with one admin and multiple guests would be appreciated.

I’m sure many schools would benefit from this and happy to have it.

Thank you

Hello accessibility team,
On Github, recently some actions on several lines at once have become available. For instance, a reviewer may select several lines and put a comment related to all of them; or to add a suggestion related to several lines at once to remove clutter in the commits by making commits number lower.
As for now, this functionality is not accessible with screen readers.
There are at least two possibilities on how to implement that:
1. (Better) Make line numbers clickable toggle buttons or links. Scenario: When a screen reader user puts his/her cursor on the line number, screen reader announces, for example: "10 toggle button". Here, the line number is given the ARIA role of "button" and the aria-pressed attribute is set to "false". If the user clicks the button (presses Enter or Space), the line gets selected visually, and the aria-pressed attribute is set to "true".
2. (Worse). The same thing as above, but there is a dedicated "Select Line" button, either visually visible or hidden (1 by 1 px since "display:none" is correctly processed by screen readers and not shown in the virtual DOM).
Thanks.

When i use the dictation tool, there is no way I can switch it off and on using my voice. I can activate it, but once the bar is up there its not very user friendly. new paragraph

for example, I cannot correct my work or use any useful commands as you can see above.

Please could you make this tool as diverse as windows speech recognition? Wsr cannot be used in every situation and on every site. I'm having to use the dictation tool to do this, and it's very hard work! There needs to be more work on making the PC completely accessible by voice

My hotmail account, all the sudden, was blocked by Microsoft on May 22.

I was told that there were unusual activities being detected in my account and I was asked to complete an account recovery process which includes a verification procedures. During the verification procedures, I was able to answer my first security question and provided email addresses and subject line of emails that I sent before my account was blocked. However, the system came back and said they still could not verify my identity. Hence, I was not able to access my hotmail account.

It is so frustrating that I don't know what I need to provide more in order to verify I am the account owner. And now, I am not able to access my hotmail account which is my primary communication protocol has caused a lot of disruption to my day to day life.

Can someone from Microsoft take a look at the information requested at the verification procedure and help to recover my account?

The virtual agent who keeps posting standard Q&A is not helpful in this case. The online recovery process is just running into circles with no solution. Please help !
