>I think I have thwarted MS in my installs as I have not connected any to a hotmail account or other MS account

Same here!

So I just read this morning they're changing the start menu on this new AU, making it more win8-esque and adding more tiles for ads and removing regular pinned ones. Looks like sh##, I really liked the new one we are losing. I guess I'll continue putting everything I use regularly on the taskbar.

There is some buzz in the headlines & teasers that W10 will no longer allow disabling of some active tiles (perhaps with ads).  I've nuked all the active tiles long ago but even if they resurrect some of them it won't matter much since I only visit the start page very infrequently.

we posted at the same time re ads

>regularly on the taskbar

That's what I do. Everything is moved to the desktop via shortcuts, on the taskbar, or run from file explorer.  Basically, it's just like XP there, maybe even a little better.  After I get it like I like it there is less and less need to go to start.

Every time I delete the CandyCrush tile it comes back. grrrrr
That is turning me right off Windows. Sure this was a free upgrade, but it's still annoying.Are they going to be pulling this with the people who pay for Win10? I bet they will...

Did you try uninstalling the app itself? Also under right-click.

One thing I've got on my downtown pc (finally got that sorted), I can right click my control panel icon on the taskbar and have a list of "recent" pop up with device manager. Not some on my home office. Maybe because I went to device manager 57 times when getting that machine sorted out.

Also, shouldn't I have the new AU already? I don't have on any of my machines, so I'm wondering if I had O&O shutup lock it down too far? I thought I was going to be prompted to restart after updates are downloaded.

Ah. I had not tried that. I really didn't play with Win10 much. I was in flurry-install mode. I was simply right clicking and unpinning from the Start menu in the VMs.
