    This is certainly a step backwards. Reminiscent of the web banner days of old. None of these software companies want you to own what you pay for from them. Reducing freedoms and trapping you into these un-optional setups. It's really getting quite frustrating for the consumer. This should be removable and optional to display. It also poses a potential "over the shoulder" security risk for people that work on the go and are in their settings.

    Poor move Microsoft. I'd recommend you stop this behavior.

    Yes, it does come back with some updates, but only takes a second to remove it.

    Remembering that you are not talking to Microsoft employees here but other users.

    This feature has been added during later builds and versions. If you don't want it shown on the Taskbar then hide it by one of the methods detailed in the link.

    If you don't like this type of update then give your thoughts to the Windows 10 development team via the Windows 10 Feedback Hub, winkey+f.

    I hear you, they insist on answering questions nobody asked. The latest slap in the face at least for me is the "meet now" icon, another thing I don't want and didn't ask for. All these "impovements" should have toggles. (Rant over)
