I THINK it asked on the original install last year. On this upgrade, it does not. She has moved in, unpacked her bags and let loose her long-haired cats on the sofa.
Mine had a screen on the anniversary update about do you want to proceed with cortina install. Since I use it I zipped passed the screen
Windows says I'm up to date, and the update history makes no mention of "anniversary...". Maybe staggered release?? (I've got updates on defaults, to auto-update.)
Windows 10 is staggered, unluckily, I accidentally hit an early update link on Saturday, which started my seven-hour install. Still waiting for anyone brave enough to try uninstalling after the upgrade....
You cannot uninstall Cortana on Windows 10 Technical Preview 2. However you my try turning it off from settings. Left click on Search box. Click Sandwich icon on Top left. Click Settings and Turn off the button under “Do you want Cortana to work for you?” This will turn off Cortana on your user profile. If you want to remove Search box in taskbar, right click on taskbar and click Search and choose Disabled.

To paraphrase some banditos. I ain't got no stinking search box. If I right click, I get the dear miss offering to help. I was going to post some pictures I found of her online, but they were not safe for any site....
It's an icon of a hand held lighted glass that enlarges what your looking at, it's on the task bar, thew "sandwich" is four lines, on the top of the pop up, I like the hint, it kills cortina
I might just go with the flow, resistance is futile. Then when the dust settles see about shutting stuff off as needed.
Per my previous post, I took the anniversary update, had problems, then went back to "old version of Windows".
Exactly, resistance is futile and the dark force is strong. Feel the hate surging through your veins. You have to give evil a little time to develop properly. Come to the dark side and feel the power. Cortina is the dark mistress Lord. That is a huge sandwich. Did a manual update on my daughters laptop and got the same giant screen that asked do you want to use Cortina. I said yes since I like the evil mistress lord. Boy this Dell AMD A6 is a dead bloated 14 day old dog. How could anything be any slower? Like changing the oil in an old car that burns a quart every 10 minutes. Decided to give her my Surface Pro 2.
Anyone with Windows 10 and an iPhone install iTunes? I see some mention of "Apple Music" also being installed, not sure about that, backed out of the install. I'm backing up the phone to my pc with iTunes, periodically backing up images/videos to the pc, and deleting. That I do completely outside of iTunes, just Windows Explorer. I'm also syncing music on my pc to the phone, that I'm doing through iTunes. Pretty much green about iTunes, it does seem a program that entrenches itself, always prompting about updates, staying in memory.
When I start the iTunes install it says something about it's going to install "Apple Music" too. No charge, it's part of the free iTunes download. Not sure what it is, no option to opt out.
I don't remember seeing an Apple Music install but my latest iTunes install asked to install iCloud and I was giddy with my new Win10 install that I accidentally clicked yes. @&&!? What did I do? Every 10 minutes or so a stupid tab slid in telling me I have no more space in my iCloud account. Most annoying thing ever trying to play Simcity and a notification bar slides in your full screen game. I can understand if it did it once but constantly throughout my game? And during YouTube videos and browsing. Why is there no option to stop bugging me? Had to uninstall it.
