Nah Edge is great with Cortana build in. I can listen to music on YouTube and Cortana will automagically grab me the lyrics etc.

Cortana has to be disabled due to privacy issues.

Not sure it will go that far yet. Might be just to allow you to script rather than the standard batch files of old

I know where to get it, my point is why is it removed from control panel so sneakily.

I just type in windows updates from the start menu. Gave up trying to find control panel a while back. They more or less killed it

Is this update now live, how big is it?
How can you check if inter computer/lan updates are working(the one computer shares its downloaded updates with the other) , I have a desktop and laptop, if it's a gb or 2 I'd much prefer if it was only downloaded once.
