Checked my email yesterday and it now shows Focused and Other.  Is there a way to disable Focused?

See if this helps:
Go to Options> Layout> Focused Inbox (on the left side of the page) and then you can turn it off.

Coming this spring with the Windows 10 Creators Update:

A choice when it comes to updates. No more unexpected restarts or forced updates.
Snooze actually means not now only when I decide I'm ready for this update.

How long can you "snooze" it for? And is this for Windows 10 Home as well?

Why is there no longer an option to switch user on win 10?  All it shows is sign out, sleep, shutdown and restart.

Would appreciate any info.

Thank you.

as they say there: "Microsoft is disgustingly sneaky: Windows 10 isn’t an operating system, it’s an advertising platform".

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Couldn't agree more, everything seems to be geared to data gathering in relation to targeted ads. But the good news your Advert ID if you give them permission to use it, is designed to serve ads that you may be of interest to you. As opposed to serving ads that you may have no interest in, nice choice, NOT.

I very highly doubt this will stick unless Microsoft is willing to pay for the charges incurred
when downloading a Windows update over a metered connection.
