yes its not had an update since I unticked them all at install. Also i need to poke about in the registry to kill cortana. ...if you aren't using a Microsoft a/c, and you haven't already signed up for Cortana at install ("maybe later"), I think it's probably sufficient to confine her to the east tower, rather than kill her. (Right click on taskbar, Cortana, Hidden).

Do you lot ever worry that you're just a bit too interested in this stuff?
No? Ok, carry on, I'm sure it's all terribly fascinating...🤓

Just drop a term in the search box, top right, and the search options magically appear. ....And further search options for programs, settings, etc exist by clicking the windows menu icon, and immediately typing a Search term (no need to position the cursor)

Funnily enough I've been installing a few PCs in Italy for the last week. Hoping to be finished by next Tuesday.
12 four socket systems each with 1.5TB of memory and a load of disk under GPFS with a few SSDs as front-end cache. Arranged in two six node clusters on different sites running SAP HANA with replication and HANA internal comms via multiple 10Gb LACP links.
Maybe I should have put this under the 'Travel today' thread because I tried to get an early flight home for a couple of days to visit a relative in hospital but most of the Italian aviation folks are on strike today so the only things flying are bloody pigeons.

No wonder you IT geeks are now wimpy sorts. Try installing several tons of 3090 600J with its channel cables the size and weight of elephants trunks, and its strings of 3990/3390 offering a massive 22gb per box

>> since Windows Media Centre isn't (officially) supported on Win 10,
I notice you say not officially supported, but Win Media Player runs as well on win 10 as it does on 7. I seem to remember that to keep my music I had in Media player without re-recording/copying it all over again, I simply grabbed the program files folder from the old win 7 installation and dropped it into the appropriate folder in win 10 before I uninstalled win 7 with ccleaner.

Humph? What are they talking about? I think you might regret that question Espada. I once asked him if the transition between CPU P-States on Broadwell caused measurable jitter and had a detrimental impact on the performance of highly parallelized workloads. Couldn't shut him up for weeks!
