Cortana popup prevention

After riding the bus into work this morning, I logged into my computer and there was a popup telling me about "Cortana Traffic." And the most negative response I could give was "Not now."



I obviously want to disable all such things but still allow my computer to work. Short of switching away from Windows, is it possible?

You may turn off Cortana messages about specific subjects through
Cortana > Cortana's Notebook > interests.



You may also disable part or all of Cortana notification through
Settings > System > Notifications & Actions,
where you may disable all notifications (somewhat drastic).



You may also, under Get notifications from these senders, click Cortana
to limit Cortana notifications.



For example, you can choose to hide the notification banners but still
allow them to appear in Action Center, turn off sounds for Cortana notifications,
or prioritize how they’ll appear in Action Center.

            How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format.

            QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

            Image
            1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
