Don't like Cortana ? Read on about the anniversary update.......

Fightsback

In another act of the long running Microsoft stupidity saga, here comes the sting in the tail (probably one of many) for the price of free in the form of the W10 anniversary update where you can't readily turn off Cortana and have to resort to more involved means than just the flick of a switch.

Nobody wanted clippy either.

No problem people, I still use Windows 3.1. Its fantastic, even that clippy thing has not made an appearance!

Here another little nasty that's turned up in the W10 anniversary edition with Microsoft taking away certain group policies for W10 pro users.

Quite outrageous really considering you pay a premium for a so called professional product only to be bombarded with adverts and the like.

This is going to annoy a lot of pro users.

Do many non-enterprise users even use group policies?
