Microsoft Took Control

A few weeks ago I wrote a series of articles about some Windows 10 tips.  I like Windows 10 just fine; although, I realize some of you out there do not.  But that is fine.   Choices and variety are usually good. However, after a recent Windows 10 update I found something I was really annoyed…

Disappointment
