Even if JAWS is going to start automatically, there may be times when you have to shut JAWS down, or JAWS might crash and you might need that shortcut key to get it back up again, unless you want to reboot, which I'd rather not if I can help it. Anyway, that's why you might want that shortcut key, even if JAWS is set up to start automatically.

Removed short keys to other Jaws apps. Went to Options and checked start automatically. Went to short key in properties, and yes it would not hold. Just for the heck of it, went back to options and un-checked start automatically. Went back to shortcut key tab and then tried the "J" key in there, applied it. Pressed OK when window came back and checked if it , the shortcut key , was still there and it was. Shut down Jaws and then tried Alt/Ctr/J and it worked just fine. My way of thinking...If Jaws was going to be started automatically, then why would you need a shortcut key. Seemed to work for now. Give it a try and see what happens.
