        "content": "Here\u2019s how to install the Windows update *now* and restart immediately using just the keyboard + JAWS. These steps are based on how Windows 11 works, but they are similar in Windows 10. If your computer says \u201cRestart in 23 hours,\u201d it\u2019s usually already downloaded; you just need to trigger the restart to apply it.  \n\n---\n\n## Step-by-Step Instructions\n\n1. **Save your work**  \n   Close all open apps or save any documents\u2014you may lose unsaved work during the restart.\n\n2. **Open Settings**  \n   - Press **Windows key + I**.  \n   - JAWS should say something like \u201cSettings window, search box, find a setting.\u201d ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/accessibility/windows/use-a-screen-reader-to-check-and-run-windows-updates?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Get to Windows Update**  \n   - In the search box, type **\"Update\"**.  \n   - When results show up, press the **down arrow** until you hear \u201cWindows Update settings,\u201d then press **Enter**. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/accessibility/windows/use-a-screen-reader-to-check-and-run-windows-updates?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Find the \u201cRestart now\u201d button**  \n   - Press **Tab** repeatedly until you hear something like \u201cRestart now, button\u201d (or \u201cRestart required\u201d if it's displaying that first).  \n   - If you hear \u201cRestart required,\u201d you\u2019ll need to still navigate to \u201cRestart now.\u201d ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/accessibility/windows/use-a-screen-reader-to-check-and-run-windows-updates?utm_source=openai))  \n   - If \u201cRestart now\u201d is not visible, pressing **Shift + Tab** can take you backward through the controls until you hear it. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/accessibility/windows/use-a-screen-reader-to-check-and-run-windows-updates?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Initiate the restart**  \n   - Once you hear **\u201cRestart now, button\u201d** or similar, press **Enter**.  \n   - The computer will begin restarting immediately and apply the updates. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/accessibility/windows/use-a-screen-reader-to-check-and-run-windows-updates?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Alternate Method Using Start Menu (if needed)\n\nIf for some reason you can\u2019t use Settings or \u201cRestart now\u201d isn\u2019t working:\n\n1. Press **Windows key** (or **Ctrl + Esc**) to open the Start menu.  \n2. Press **Tab** until you find the **Power** option.  \n3. Press **Enter** to open the power submenu.  \n4. Use the **arrow keys** to select **Restart**.  \n5. Press **Enter** to confirm.  \n   - If an update is pending, you may hear \u201cUpdate and Restart\u201d instead of just \u201cRestart.\u201d That\u2019s good\u2014that still installs the update. ([sastltd.zohodesk.eu](https://sastltd.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/kb/articles/restart-or-shutdown-of-windows-10-using-jaws?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether you're using Windows 10 or Windows 11, I can give you instructions tailored to your version."
