I run a virtual box VM provided by Microsoft to test my website on their new browser. It surprises me how much of a resource hog Windows can be... Is there really no way to turn off cortana and on access antivirus scan? I guess it is probably fine on a real machine but it sucks on a VM on a machine with a spinning disk where Windows is just a tenant among others.

You can disable most of Cortana's functionality, it is currently "suspended" on my machine and using 38 MB of RAM, with 5 seconds of CPU time. Pretty low utilisation. Here is a guide to disabling the anti-virus indefinitely: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/10/25/how-to-disable-windows-defender-in-windows-10-permanently/ http://www.ghacks.net/2015/10/25/how-to-disable-windows-defe...
