The installer itself lets you choose to enable or disable Siri. Like it's one of the first choices you make when you first set up the machine.

  As someone else pointed out: That isn't the issue. It was because they lied about your privacy when you opted in. Some folks, would they have known what they know now, wouldn't have opted in.

    Still important. Try to get rid of Cortana for instance. MS is forcing that crap down your throat.

      At the moment, if you set Windows 10 to not send every keystroke to Bing when you're searching for a start menu shortcut, the search process locks up and consumes an entire CPU core. Microsoft isn't serious about the privacy options they pretend to offer.

          Apparently Microsoft did get a fix out earlier this week; I'd been avoiding my Windows machines waiting for this. The patch that introduced the bug: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4512941/windows-10-update-kb4512941 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4512941/windows-10-... The patch that fixed the bug: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4515384/windows-10-update-kb4515384 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4515384/windows-10-... Description and workaround: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/cxmot9/windows_10_1903_update_18362329_causes_high_cpu/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/cxmot9/windows_1... It's still clear that Microsoft's QA procedures focus too highly on testing the default configurations rather than the sane configurations.
