Windows 10: Microsoft's CEO Says Cortana's Going to Kill the Browser

We'll see. I bet Chrome is here longer than Cortana is.

:)

 

Cannot update defender get error code 0x80072F8F.

Do you work for Microsoft? It says CEO? How did you know the fix?

 

Cortana is possessed, how to make it go away?

Almost any mouse gesture makes Cortana send out a tone, then either maximize to take up 1/4 of my screen on the left side, or the smaller 1/8 Cortana presence. Cortana responds to the louder commercials on the television, and went off to connect me to the
Duluth Trading Company! It isn't even that loud, but the speakers are good. I don't see how Cortana can be considered helpful when I constantly have to X it down (but never off. Even killing it through task manager only lasts a few seconds), in order to
see my screen. Even when I use Cortana to look something up, there's no difference between typing my query in a browser and typing it in Cortana, except that I can set the browser to filter if need be. If anything, using Cortana is adding an extra step to
search (it doesn't respond accurately to verbal requests to search), and who needs that? I already have to deal with Cortana distracting me when I use the touch pad. This is an ADHD nightmare, adding a constant distraction to the already prone to being distracted.
I spent an hour trying to kill Cortana today, walked away in frustration from something important yesterday because Cortana was just too annoying. Is there anyway to turn Cortana off? I figured I should ask before I go into into Program Files and start deleting.
If it isn't necessary for the functioning of the computer it should be made optional.

So, is there any way to turn off/disable/kill Cortana?

 

Same for Firefox.

 

In in another post it says this about those other browsers, *really

Microsoft: Windows 10 Users Should Say No to Chrome and Firefox

 

#2 I really hope you're right!! Here in Denmark we don't have Cortana at all!! And missing a browser these days without a substitution is quite difficult *Smile

 

No way Cortana is Microsoft baby like Edge is, both work together well.

 

*Ditto ....

They are very good with ...



I really hope so though... Amen ..!

 

Read it all and dismissed it *chuckle

 

Avid Firefox User for years

 

Both Edge and Cortana are interesting toys at this point but neither can really get the job done. Maybe in a few years they might start getting useful, until then I'll continue to use FireFox.

 

With a microphone can do some interesting things Cortana for you.

 

Not really interesting but some are pretty funny.

Ask her who her father is for instance. Ask her for other cruder favours and you get a short response *Smile

 

Have not tried myself, just recall talks on it here and what i read online.Thinking it favors a mobile device more.
