Still tries to force cortana on me despite my computer not even having a mic. It places ads in the start menu. Heck, the start menu is basically completely useless. I've resorted to relying exclusively on search now, which means my start menu is a mess and if I can't remember the name of the app, I have to resort to using file explorer to attempt to locate it. I still can't for the life of me figure out how to change any of the system settings without fishing around. Every single time I have a bluetooth issue, it's 5+ minutes of poking around different menus to sort out where the issue is. Case in point. Click start, settings, and look at the window that pops up. Where are the settings to add a new wifi AP? This is something you will do quite often if you have a laptop or tablet. Ohh wait, did you get the menu that actually has all the settings in it? Because there are two. Windows decides somewhat randomly which one to present you with. What sense does that make? |

For what it is worth, Cortana has been basically entirely turned off in either 20H1 or 20H2 on new installs.

It's less annoying about that if you pay the $99 for the upgrade from Home to Pro.

Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Show all available networks
Though that just opens the window for you that you'd get if you clicked the Network Indicator button directly on the Taskbar which is the fastest/direct path. (It wouldn't have occurred to me to try to path to it from the Settings app, though it is interesting that you can.)
