Microsoft will be splitting up Cortana and Search in a future Windows 10 update

[Squid Surprise]

Please let us know how to remove xbox without some hidden command line buried deep in the OS. I just found a single link that gives some off the wall command line I've never seen nor needed before. Why do they hide it let alone have it installed by default? When I built our corporate image some time ago, nothing came up how to remove it. So frustrating and ignorant on MS' part. Plus all of the over dozen other unnecessary services. Phone service? Dial-up modem? SMB 1.0?? lol

I didn't mention Cortana in my posts, thanks for just saying "google it", but I disabled it on my own without needing to search.

That command did absolutely nothing on Server 2016.

Sorry... that was for Windows 10... Here you go

All you have to do is go into "services" and disable it...

I'd prefer Microsoft fix their own crap than have 6 billion people fixing it for themselves.

that will literally never happen. when gates stepped down the company went into the shitter and it won't be coming out.

Yeah. Disabling was the first thing I did (automatic by default??? WTH Microsoft??). There is no way I know of to remove it completely. Thanks anyway.

Which is sad because Microsoft will never actually compete. Because they know their trash is being paid for every time their OS is installed.

telling someone they suck is how people end up not sucking anymore.

From one barbarian to another barbarian, so they don't suck at being a barbarian anymore. Pot calling the kettle black. Maybe the color was never black to begin with. Ones perception can always be wrong. Insulting means that your mind is closed to the possibility of being wrong. And that you have convinced yourself they are not saying the same thing as you. This is definitely a cross cultural problem, which is why insults can not be tolerated on a cross cultural forum. Stick with the facts and hopefully we (including myself) will come to our senses.
