How to Disable Cortana from Windows 10 Permanently
6How to Disable Cortana from Windows 10 Permanently
It’s worth noting that you don’t need to go through the more complex steps of completely removing it. You can disable Cortana – but it will still be there and possibly running in the background. It can also collect select search and other usage data.
Microsoft doesn’t want you to disable Cortana. You used to be able to turn off Cortana in Windows 10, but Microsoft removed that easy toggle switch in the Anniversary Update. But you can still disable Cortana via a registry hack or group policy setting. This transforms the Cortana box into a “Search Windows” tool for local application and file searches.
Cortana has become increasingly restrictive since Windows 10’s release. It was previously updated to ignore your default web browser. Cortana now always launches the Microsoft Edge browser and only uses Bing when you search. If that sounds like something you wouldn’t want to use, here’s how to turn it off.
