Breaking Cortana, I'd call that a feature and not a bug.

I agree - shame it doesn't kill Edge as well !
I am trying to locate an ISO of anniversary update and as usual am being thwarted by MS's lack of ability to allow access to their update catalogue site by their own browser (when I try IE11 - It tells me "incompatible" - so I try Firefox !!
And still can't find the correct KB file
Anyone else had more luck ?

I doubt it's a KB ... at 3.5GB it'll be more like a service pack.

I'm not sure it's even released yet. Today is the release date but not sure what time they plan to release it, given the Americans are in a timezone behind ours.

Plus the Media Creation Tool may be a bit later than when it appears in Windows update.

By the way what have you got against Edge? Granted it could do with more features, but it is fast and apparently very efficient on power usage.

What's that in the top right corner then? Unless you just mean it's not like you are used to?...
The update is being issued as I type, which is why you couldn't get it earlier......Patience man....

Actually no it isn't.

The one with the address bar at the bottom was an alternative version of Internet Explorer - it was only in Windows 8/8.1 and didn't survive as far as Windows 10.

Edge is rather better than that.
