Fair enough. I did not consider that aspect. I'd still hope there would be a slightly less annoying way to accomplish that though.

- binarycrusader 8y agoAs someone who's heard Cortana many times during initial setup, I understand. However, I also understand the tradeoff in favor of accessibility. For larger deployments, there's a registry key and other options: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/cortana-voice-support https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/... For other cases, I'd consider filing feedback requesting an easier way to mute during the setup process (if there isn't one already; I don't remember looking for that option and instead just muting the device using a hardware switch).
