Hi, everyone.
My computer has something called Cortana on it, and it constantly pops up and insists on trying to "help" me. (Like the government.)
Does anyone know how I can disable it?
Yo Dave. Yo Dave, man. Why you doin’ me this way Dave? You an’ me cool now, Dave. We cool. We cool man. Yo. Dave. Davey. Why you bustin’ my b***s, Dave? Ooohhhh, Dave, man, ain’t we down, man? Ain’t we cool? Comeooonn, Dave, put down that screwdriver man.
LOL!
Easy to disable Cortana.
Yeah, when I first saw the sexual content I assumed it would be Humblegunner because he or she pretty much turns everything into something sexual.
At what point will Microsoft make it so that you can’t disable Cortana in Windows 10? As one of those still using Win 7 Pro, at least until January 2020, I am not looking forward to moving on.
You need to get you one of those Joe Biden approved shot guns.
Linux
Thats funny.
I wish I could get that Bixby off my phone.
I installed “Elementary OS” (a Linux distro that mimics the Mac user interface). I’ve been happy with that (and no Cortana!)
The remake.
I thought we was ace boon coon nukkas, Dave.
Mint works just fine for me a number of Desktop [actual] PCs.
Eschew the Matrix...
Humblegunner may just be a mad genius.
Freud (1905) believed that life was built round tension and pleasure. Freud also believed that all tension was due to the build-up of libido (sexual energy) and that all pleasure came from its discharge.
Fraud...erm.. I mean, Freud, was also a sex addict.
I miss the paperclip.

Mint is nice for former windows users.
The nice thing about Linux is that you pick a distro that works best for you.
That's me.
I don't build and use servers, nor corporate networks of computers. Just a few 10 yr old pieces of misc. hardware still more than able to get my "work" done.
When I got a new laptop a couple years ago I disabled Cortana. Can’t recall how I did it, but it drove me crazy. I finally gave the god-forsaken Windows 10 laptop to my husband and bought a Windows 7. Much more civilized.
Well, this is disappointing.
At the bottom of your screen on the left there is a windows icon, right click on it, you get a list above, click on search then when a qindow pups up, put in cortana. Then you get another window, where you get options re. cortana.
