Do NOT use Xbox Ambassadors for any payment related questions.
Twice I tried to contact Xbox support to get a payment question resolved, and both times the ambassador I was chatting with eventually asked me for my credit card information.

I've reported both these ambassadors, but its a shame Microsoft is directly connecting their customers with phishers trying only to steal financial information.

I assumed this would lead to lots of people being harassed while seeking tech support but the phishing angle hadn't occurred to me.

I think 3 quarters’ worth several years ago for the E&D division but that also included all the patent royalties they get for android

then they spun up the xbone development and destroyed any hope of that happening again

I have to pause indexing every time I want to search for something lol

Cortana seems to just be an update/rename of ye olde Indexing Service and even has some of the same long-standing bugs like index DB corruption. 3rd party AV tools loving with it is very much a thing as well.

In legacy Control Panel go into Indexing Options, then go into Advanced options and tell it to rebuild the index.

There's also just nuking the file:

They're just going to show third party games, some vaporware, and a huge price drop on the xboneX which flopped.

Also I'd win a co-ed yospos beauty pageant.
