  1. Removing Cortana from Alt+Tab list With Solution


    This is sort of more like documentation than question. Answers that build on this or propose better solutions are welcome, but please spare us the "Uninstall Cortana" and/or "Close Cortana using Task Manager" suggestions. Those are fundamentally broken, since they interfere with how Cortana Works i.e., not being able to voice activate Cortana. Also, a way to automate this would be welcome.I'll go into quite a bit of detail both on the problem and how it currently doesn't have a proper solution, as well as the workaround I found. If you're confident you know your way around Windows, have rese

  2. Alt-Tab list always includes Cortana (new behavior)

    I disabled Cortana years ago... or so I thought. But starting today, whenever I use Alt-Tab to switch between windows (which I do frequently), the second one in the list (the default I will get if I only press Tab once) is Cortana! If I select it, I get a box saying, "Sign in to Cortana". I can make that window disappear by clicking X, but if I press Alt-Tab again, Cortana is still in the list. Did I do something to cause this new behavior? How do I get rid of it?

  3. Alt-Tab list always includes Cortana (new behavior)

    You keep talking about Windows updates, but that doesn't seem to be the trigger for this.

    Let me try asking a different question (this is about normal behavior): Does everyone who has Cortana installed see it offered in the Alt-Tab list of windows along with the apps they are actively using?

    Alt-Tab list always includes Cortana (new behavior)

    My last Feature Update was 21H1 in July 2021, and the last update of any kind was KB5012599 on April 16th, which I think was also the last time the PC was rebooted (according to the Performance tab of Task Manager, the uptime is over 16 days). But this behavior of having Cortana appear in the list of open windows (Alt-Tab) just started today. So I suspect Cortana was already on my system. I'm interested in understanding why it's showing up like this, as a running app.
