    Hown to disable - pickup where you left off (Cortana)


    I did a search and followed the instructions but can't disable this feature.


    Maybe the instructions to disable where for an older version of Windows 10?


    Someone please help.


    This feature is quite annoying.


    Thanks

    :)

    Pick up where I left off feature will display quick links in the Action Center so you can quickly jump back into your Microsoft Edge session and SharePoint documents after switching PCs.
