Windows 10: Windows optional update and strange behaviour

OS: Windows 10, version 2004 Japanese

Browser Firefox updated

Drivers updated

Windows updated.


Since the auto Window update to version 2004 I was facing some problems but now I have noticed after Optional program update I see various suggestions appears on screen. No doubt it could be good thing, as I am not use to it, that is why it is a kind of painful specially when you are doing important work on computer.


In short I wonder if, it is possible to uninstall those recent optional updates only if it won't affect windows function?

Your help in this regard will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Cortana's Strange Behaviour After Creator's Edition Update

Interestingly, my Cortana also presents such a list, no numbers.

Try 'The first' 'The second' etc.

...which works well, until.... the list of available options extends beyond the box as here:




So this British English-sounding voice starts reading them 'Which Minitool do you wanna open...'

And reads the list...after which I see




Oh, come on Microsoft, this is as pathetic as your start menu, where I see



- these shortcuts, each for a different program, being taken from the folders of 2,3,or 4 per program in my nested start menu.

Which is one of a number of reasons I choose to use Classic Shell start menu which actually works. Reliably.

 

Cortana strange behaviours

Hello Gabriel,

We need to do further investigation on your concern so that we can identify why Cortana is not working properly:

• Have you recently made any change/updates prior to this issue?
• Did you try to login to a different user account to check if it is the same?

In the meantime, you can try these steps to isolate the issue:

As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you perform the troubleshooting steps listed in this

article
on how to troubleshoot Cortana issues.

Let us know the outcome.

Strange update behaviour


I don't understand why I am getting absolutely no reponse to this perfectly reasonable question. Has nobody else ever seen this strange update behaviour? I've searched and have found nothing.
Surely someone has some ideas.
