  1. Cortana runs in background after being disabled


    I have already turned off Cortana and her ability to 'get to know me' in the settings. I go to task manager and Cortana still shows up. while using 3% or memory(a large chunk compared to what is being used when nothing is open), i end her process. After a second or two, Cortana comes back. Cortana is currently using 48mb average right now. Is there some other process that disabled all Cortana?

    --quick edit:: after about 5 minutes, Cortana has increased memory from 48mb to 55mb, and still increases slowly. I fear this could exponentially develop as I use my mac/windows10--

    :)

    after disabling cortana i find it is still running in the back ground is there any way to prevent this from happening?

    Have you thought of searching the web for an answer? This question has been addressed so many times it's getting to be boring.

    For example: Why Is Cortana Still Running in the Background After You Disable It?

  4. Cortana runs in background after being disabled

    Cortana stil continues to run while being ocmpletely disabled. It currenty jumps around alot on how much memory it takes, whic at one point hit 1gb(1/4 my mac's ram). I have also run into a problem where I cannot remove, or even move the Cortana app, from the startup menu(I have mine take full screen, and have an app I want to take it's place)

  5. After using Microsoft's great help desk. I learned that Cortana is always running no matter what(it is part of the core, for some unknown reason). I was told that it may be removed from core functions, to allow better usage. Also, Cortana cannot be removed(or moved) from the start menu icons(may be a bug help desk was unsure, it was sent to software engineers either way and I will be updated)
