How do I enable ads on start and lock screen? A lot of people are talking about it, I feel left out. :/
>You no longer have search without Cortana.
Could you elaborate? search for what?
>These are not small annoyances that happen sometimes. They happen frequently. Microsoft is dictating how you must use a computer.
Good, otherwise we'd end up with bazillion window managers that get you 80% of "stuff" in bazillion different ways, but none do the other 20%.
- shakna 10y agoAds appeared for me after a month of usage. I assume there's some A/B stuff, and usage indicators used to determine when this should happen. If you disable Cortana, a feat in itself, the file system search functions die. Your last point is not really upheld. Greater flexibility existed in previous versions of Windows. Though different solutions to the inbuilts existed, they weren't popular. However, dictating which browser, through inconvenience, is harmful to the web. IE6 stands to that memory. Forcing telemetry down users throats, so you can better predict them, is spying. It won't result in products for user needs, it'll result in making users think they need less.
- ldev 10y agoExcept for telemetry - I think after using Linux, Windows is confusing to you, because I don't have Cortana and still can search for files, don't see ads. Understandable, as Windows is not *nix, you should just RTFM.
