Windows 10 update is expected to become easier, hassle free and the credit for it goes to Cortana. The latest update is scheduled to roll out from Tuesday. The users will have an edge over as setting up won't be difficult. Through Cortana, the users would be able to set up using simply the voice. The update is expected to ease out the entire process.

Microsoft has updated Cortana so that the service would help users set up their device while installing and downloading any software. The Microsoft's voice-activated smart assistant is undoubtedly a boon for the users. As per The Express, the Windows 10 Creators update would allow users to connect to Wifi, choose keyboard options on its own as well as connect to the user's Microsoft account. That's not all, it performs all these activities without having to touch the keyboard.

However, users who prefer using their hands can also do so using Microsoft's voice control whenever they want. Interestingly, the Windows 10 Creators update has begun including an entire privacy dialogue box. Microsoft was asked when the users would receive an update to which they said, "the first phase will target newer devices ... we will then expand the Creators Update release to additional devices based on the feedback."

The entire Windows 10 Creators update process would take several months, but for the users getting impatient there's a way. They can update using the Update Assistant. Apart from PC updates, Windows smartphones would also receive updates. The rollout for the phones would begin from April 25, The Register reported. Along with this, the user also receives notifications, asking the users to review the privacy settings. The privacy review settings have been simplified.

There's a small complication in regards to the Windows 10 Creators update. The Cortana app comes with its own settings. While installing updates users would be prompted with two options 'Use Cortana' and 'Not Now'. This is because Microsoft collects information such as the user's location, location history, voice input, handwriting and speech patterns and more.
