_AdjI_ 10/29/19 2:17:53 PM #15:	I just wish Windows 10 actually let you do what you want. The fact that I had to go into the registry to turn off Cortana is utterly ridiculous, especially where the OS launched with a simple switch that got removed in a later update. I still haven't been able to figure out what it is that keeps randomly waking my laptop up from sleep mode, which is really bad because it lives in my backpack a lot of the time. I've tried basically everything I could find that doesn't involve the group policy editor, which I don't have access to because of course you need to pay extra for a version that doesn't prevent you from doing what you want with your own computer. Basic usage, though? It's not bad. It does the job. I still like 7 better, but at the end of the day everyday use is just fine. Starts up nice and fast, too. <cite>_AdjI_ posted [p:929392055] in Oh boy, un... [t:78118916]...</cite> <quote>I just wish Windows 10 actually let you do what you want.
