Cortana tells you immediately you can turn it off if you like. Hardly MS's fault you did not listen!
It makes no sense to turn it off by default - how will you know to turn it on without another information screen which most users will probably ignore.
If you do not connect to the Internet as installing, it is off anyway.
My new desktop has a small device that emits beeps for POST and other issues (like diagnostic codes.)
It is not a speaker. I haven't tested the VR on a laptop and have no intention to do so.
Please see this...
A simple one-line notification alerting you that voice recognition is on would be a very doable thing, IMO.Code:https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000725.htm
I started this thread as a heads-up to a very unusual situation. I'm leaving it at that, lol.
I would rather it was off by default and be prompted / asked if I wanted to go that route. Just personal choice really. Now that I know its there, I just disable it. Some stuff you still have to type in anyway.
