    Point taken, but the options in question are easily accessed from the task bar and the settings, and should not take up real estate on my desktop. It should, as you say be optional, I got it, then it vanished, then came back, then gone, now it is back again! all without input from me, you the user. It does not seem to rely on updates as I have seen some say, my banner has my picture and email also onedrive and updates (which I check at least twice a day every day. I am sick of it.

    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)

    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.
