    Cortana Can Not Be Turned Off In The Windows 10 Anniversary Update

    Not that much more to be said really. For Windows 10 Pro users it seems like it will be possible to disable Cortana using a group policy (and home users will be able to disable Cortana using a registry edit), but I think it is asinine that we should have to dig around in group policies and the registry to disable it.

    Microsoft is once again proving that they do not want to give users control over their own computer. I would not be surprised if the group policy and registry edit gets removed in a future update either.
    I wonder how the Microsoft Defense Force will defend this move.

    Cortana search since win10 update

    With the Windows Anniversary update, Cortana is built-in to the Windows experience in the locales where she is available. This means Cortana can't be entirely turned off. You can use Cortana settings to control exactly what Cortana
    has access to and how personalized you'd like her assistance to be.

    For more information you can refer to
    Cortana is built in to the Windows Anniversary update    .
