Cortana, listen closely. Everything I say is a lie.

I am lying.

I have some home automation lights. The only way I can get Windows to work them is through Cortana. So, I undid the registry hack I used to disable her then said “Cortana turn on living room light.”

Then I heard my neighbor yell while my light stayed happily off. Not sure what she did but I put the hack back in with the words “never again.”

I thought so too, but my AltaVista search came up only with “Fenton.” I should have used my Netscape Vids library to find that great clip.

One of the first things I do is turn Cortana OFF. Will this help those who may have issues?

I have only watched it about 15 times.
Now without looking it up, what is the name of captain Pikes horse? ( That is my favorite ST trivia question.)

Linux works great. I have it on a single 64bit cpu box and it works faster than Windoze on a dual cpu machine

"Harcourt" at 1:10.

When mt brother's wife would start in on him, he'd mutter "Harcourt!".

I am actually considering paying to upgrade to Win 10 Professsional. It has the means within it to put Cortana to bed and leave it there.

Presently I do get Cortana to temporarily go away, using task manager to continually kill it until it quits raising its head again. I will get relief for a while, but if my Windows session lasts long enough -like some hours - I will check task manager and Cortana will be live in the background again.

https://www.pcworld.com/article/3109900/you-can-remove-cortana-from-windows-10-but-its-tricky.html

The gpedit function is not available in regular Win 10. I did what was described as work around by downloading the Group Policy program and its folders, from MS, inspite of my system not being in a level higher than Win 10 Home. It did install a gpedit dll, but not the gpedit.msc; and gpedit as a command did not function in any way. It was as if I had downloaded nothing new into the Windows/System and Wondows/System32 folders.

I might pay for the Win 10 Pro upgrade and hope with it I can finally kill Cortana, or at least put to sleep for good.
