Windows 10: Cortana Partially Appearing After Disabling. How to Disable Cortana Completely?

Hello, I am trying to disable cortana in my new laptop Windows 10 system, which I am still configuring things.


I followed some steps in regedit and set a flag to 0.

Source: https://www.hows.tech/2019/04/disable-cortana-in-windows-10.html


But it is still showing up the cortana.

I am not sure which of these DWORD 32 and DWORD 64 shall I use for "AllowCortana" key.


Steps I performed-

1. Created a new AllowCortana key

2. Chosen DWORD 32 option

3. Set Value to 0


Result:

Cortana search box is disappeared but when I open start menu then the Cortana Search appears.


Please help.


I read this guide, which did not help me, the result is still the same.
