Disabling Cortana will help regain a bit of privacy by preventing it from sending what we do on our personal computers back to Microsoft ( for quality assurance purposes of course). This virtual assistant is virtually useless and is sucking system resources on top of that. What is embarrassing is how much data Cortana collects about me yet fails to be able to locate most of anything I tell it to search for. This will help you turn off and disable Microsoft’s Cortana from your Windows 10 computer as well as disable the Bing search results from the Start menu. On top of that, it is yet another invasion of my privacy.įor those of us who just want to search for a file on our PC, and nothing or nowhere else, the following instructions will help you do so. It’s like Microsoft doesn’t even use their own products.
This new built-in feature is just as unhelpful as it is annoying. Microsoft has, yet again, proven it has no ability to be original or creative with their integration of a digital personal assistant, called Cortana, into Windows 10.
