    Windows 10’s next update will make Cortana movable


    Windows 10 20H1 update will turn Cortana into a separate app within the operating system. In Windows 10 20H1 preview builds, Cortana is a standalone and independent app. That means you will be able to update Cortana as any other app from the Microsoft Store.

    Windows 10 20H1 update will also introduce the ability to shift the Cortana window around, away from the taskbar. The changes are included in Windows 10 Build 18975 for Fast Ring Insiders

    Just like other Windows 10 apps, you will be able to grab the title bar and drag the window anywhere on the desktop. You can also resize the window of Cortana and minimize or maximize it.

    Another change recently implemented in preview builds was the introduction of Cortana’s keyboard-friendly chat-based interface. This allows Microsoft’s digital assistant to remember the context of the messages and enables natural interaction with users.

    All these changes could convince Windows 10 owners to keep Cortana around for longer on the desktop and use it more frequently.

    Other improvements


    Windows 10 Build 18975 also introduces the ability to rename virtual desktops, so you can easily differentiate between the multiple independent workspaces. The other changes in this release are mostly bug fixes and improvements, including fixes for an issue where “Bluetooth and Other Devices” and “Printers and Scanners” settings would not render properly.

    One of the known issues in the update is associated with Windows 10’s new Cloud Reset feature. According to the Redmond firm, Cloud Reset feature may not work properly when specific optional features such as SNMP and CMAK are enabled.

    If everything goes as per Microsoft’s scheduled plan, Windows 10 20H1 will be finalized in early 2020 and it would become available to everyone in the spring.

    In addition to Cortana improvements, Windows 10 20H1 will make Notepad updatable from Store and it will also add disk type within Task Manager.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

    Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

    At some point ppl will have to jump on win 10 tho. Apparently microsoft's plan is to endlessy update win 10. A brand new windows 11 isn't going to happen. If we keep screaming hard enough, they might redo the update system, and give an option to destroy cortana (the education version of 10 doesn't have cortana at all, so...)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Privacy tweaks...

    • Turn Cortana Off. Bring up the Start menu and start typing. Click on the notebook icon in the left sidebar and choose Settings. From there, you can turn off Cortana.
    • Search online and include web results. When you turn off Cortana, you’ll see this option appear. You can turn it off if you’d rather not get web search suggestions from the Start menu, which log your typing and send it back to Microsoft so you can get live-updating predictions, just like you do on Google.com or in Chrome and Firefox.
    • Getting to Know You. In Settings > Privacy > Speech, Inking, & Typing, you’ll find a feature called “Getting to Know You”. This is probably the most sweeping privacy setting on the system, and even after turning off Cortana, you’ll have to disable this setting. Just click the “Stop Getting to Know Me” button to turn it off.
    • Cloud Info. Turning off Getting to Know You removes info from your device, but you’ll have to remove it from the cloud separately. In that same window, click “Go to Bing and manage personal info for all your devices” to clear the Getting to Know You Data from your Microsoft account.

    • If you head to Settings > Privacy > Feedback & Diagnostics, you’ll see two settings:
    • Feedback frequency: Windows will occasionally ask you for feedback so you can send Microsoft your thoughts on Windows 10. If you’d rather it not bug you with such things, you can change it to Never.
    • Diagnostic and usage data: This feature can send a lot of data back to Microsoft, including how often you use certain apps, which apps you use most often, and memory snapshots (which can inadvertently include parts of a document you’re working on if something crashes). You can change this to Full, Enhanced, or Basic. You can read more about what each of these to here.
    Microsoft doesn’t let you turn off diagnostics completely, except on Enterprise versions of Windows. The Basic setting, they say, is data that is “vital to the operation of Windows”, including Windows Update and malicious software protection.


    some may be duplicated. I found this info on Lifehacker, if anyone wants the full article.
