    Cortana pop ups/selfy


    Cortana pops up about 11pm, just out of the blue, One night Cortana pops up and says "How about a selfy" laying there naked it was all I could to block the screen... That is creepy, I would like Cortana to stop everything unless I ask for it? Was this a programmer joke.? WTH !!!!

    :)

    IRRITATING CORTANA POP UP

    NO MATTER WHAT I TRY, I CAN'T STOP THE CORTANA POP UP. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MICROSOFT PREVENTS CORTANA POP UP FROM BEING TURNED OFF. ANY SUGGESTIONS ? I NO LONGER RECCOMMEND WIN10 DUE TO THE CONSTANT POP UP. HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THEIRS OFF ?

    Cortana pops up

    Hi Gerald,

    To assist you with your concern, you may follow the steps provided below on how to fix Cortana that keeps popping up:

    • Click Start Menu > Settings.
    • Look for Devices > Mouse & touchpad.
    • Click Additional mouse options. (This will open a new window that depends on your device.)
    • Look for options that read "Three Finger Tap" or "Four Finger Tap".

    Note: You need to make sure that these options are disabled as this is also a factor that triggers Cortana automatically.

    You can also find the same options when you go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Synaptics Touchpad.
    Just turn off the tap feature.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.
