Microsoft will stop Cortana from interrupting during Windows 10 setup

"Based on feedback", Microsoft is getting rid of Cortana's voice walkthroughs for Windows 10 clean instals by default on Pro, Enterprise, or Education editions, the company said in a blog post. That doesn't mean the AI is gone forever: Microsoft states you can fire up Narrator at any time by pressing "WIN Ctrl Enter." Home users, on the other hand, will still have Cortana enabled by default. The change will come into effect with the next Windows 10 feature update, codenamed 19H1, which is expected in April. When Microsoft introduced Cortana integration during setup last year, it seemed like an attractive feature for Windows 10 newcomers, as it allowed users to offload some tasks to the AI helper.
