still collects vast amounts of telemetry
Still uninstalls "Unwanted" programs
Still updates when you don't want it to
Still listens 24/7 via Cortana
K.
Cortana is now been mostly put on ice.
The forced feature twice a year version updates are now from this point forward, optional. This time it will ask if you want it and you can just sit on current version in perpetuity.
Cortana hasn't been removed from the OS so it means it still operates, if only on the background.
And I could be mistaken but from what I read, home users are still forced to upgrade on demand, that change only affects Enterprise users
To be fair I didn't like any of that crap either, to put it mildly.
Whatever stick got lodged up there in management's ass is slowing being pulled out painfully over the last year and ongoing over the next few years.
No
Cortana does still start automatically on v.1903 Pro. That sucks.
