• The hunt for Cortana

    Posted on November 5, 2016 at 06:58 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    jabberwockI’d like your comments, insights and experiences on disabling Cortana.

    As best I can tell, all of Windows Search is run through Cortana (which is, itself, a front end to Bing).

    You can easily take Search off the taskbar (there’s a setting), but that doesn’t disable Cortana – in spite of what many, many people have written. PKCano noted weeks ago that Cortana continues in the Task Manager.

    So… any luck slaying the Jabberwock? What do you know?

    By the way… good background info in Paul Thurrott’s Aug. 31 article Ask Paul: Can I Turn Off Cortana in Windows 10 Version 1607?
