Computer-makers are hoping to get a boost from consumer interest in Windows 10, which manufacturers are making available on new machines being sold this fall.

Originally released to a small number of users in July, Monday’s update is a significant step as Microsoft looks to expand Cortana’s footprint beyond Windows.
Since these apps consume a very small amount of space on your hard disk, it is best if you just ignore them in case if you’re not using them. Some of which concerns video playback in the Movies & TV app, lack of support for optional language packs, and a problem that hinders mobile hotspot functionality. More than 90,000 unique devices have downloaded the operating system, he said, including some from as far back as 2007. On the off chance that you need to avoid the wait, you can simply download Windows 10 directly. Tiles that could be pressed, moved, resized, and could contain basic information while displayed on the screen ostensibly made it easier for users to navigate around their devices.
And this is an embarrassment to Microsoft because the company has been trying hard to promote local apps that are on their own store. In response to “tell me a joke”, Microsoft’s digital assistant has already told more than half a million funnies since launch, Mehdi said. And opting out of settings as detailed above might mean “location-based apps will fail, the spelling checker will (misidentify misspelled words), and Cortana won’t get any smarter”, he noted.
In time, Cortana evolves to learn more about you with search results and recommendations becoming increasingly targeted. That disables the assistant on the PC and removes all locally stored data related to the user.
Although Microsoft is still a powerhouse in the tech world, it still really needed Windows 10 to be a hit, if for no other reason than to wash the bad taste of Windows 8 out of everyone’s mouths.
