    Cortana trying to phone home via SearchUI.exe


    Out 12:33:14 PM 1/6/2018 192.168.1.109:58277 204.79.197.222:443 (https) TCP (6) C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\SearchUI.exe

    It continually tries to access the internet. I have Private Firewall as my Firewall and have granular control over what gets access to the web. It tried to access the web 35 times in under 30 minutes.
    If you open an app, WIndows 10 wants the app to phone home. I tried to copy and paste the above into Paint and it wanted access to the web. What for?!
    Win 10 is some piece of Spyware....

  2. I cannot find Apps or Programs by using the taskbar search.

    After I restarted Cortana, I still couldn't search for apps using the taskbar search.

    I decided to go to the details on Cortana using the Task Manager and noticed that "SearchUI.exe" was suspended.

    Could this be the cause of the problem?

    Is there anyway to get "SearchUI.exe" to run again?

  3. Removing unwanted TSR programs like Cortana

    Try to Stop SearchUI.exe and quickly DELETE the cortana folder. After you have taken ownership and given your SPECIFIC USER full access to the folder.
