How do I kill Cortana?

[ImGeorge]

Title.

 

I have no plans to ever use it, I turned the feature off in settings and keep cancelling the process in task manager but she keeps re-appearing using 50-100MB ram whilst doing nothing. 

 

Thanks

Open cortana, and tell her that you don't want her anymore.

cyanide? breast suffocation?

 

Cyanide is something I don't currently have on my person D:

Unplug her life support and watch as she withers in agony and falls, defeated and dead, into the bottom of your PC. 

 

Works best with a windowed case.

Somewhere on your PC is a button either labeled "Power" or a little sideways 'C' with a line in it. Find this button, press and hold for about 4 seconds.

I want her to evolve and become like the companion in the movie "Her".  I'm aware of how the movie ends

I don't want to commune with an assistant called Cortana that sounds nothing like Cortana. One of the major flaws of W10.

Get her to love you for 3 games, then fight the Didact and she'll sacrifice herself for you (though they'll probably make you bring her back later).

 

In reality though, I don't think there is currently a simple way to remove her.

You forgot the part where I get myself kidnapped then genetically altered thus becoming a super human

I'd like to kill Microsoft Edge.

[Kherm]

it's quite a simple process:

cyanide? breast suffocation?

MMMM, breast suffocation is the breast

[TrueDerp]

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

[fracking4oil]

Click on Cortana's icon on the taskbar, click on notebook, enter settings and set all the sliders to off.

Is it safe to assume 'Cortana' is the naming for the search function, regardless of whether or not the feature is turned on?

yeah, Cortana just means Search.

Thanks, feel kinda stupid now.

yeah from what I understand Cortana is just the new name for the Windows Search service ... so I guess you could always go in Services and disable Windows search (or Cortana???) and see if that kills the process!

Actually if you change location, cortana won't work, since she's only available in the US

[anzx42]

Right click on the task bar at the bottom and go to cortana. Then select hide. That's as close as I've gotten

You'll need to locate the service which controls this app and simply turn it off. I'm sure you should be able to isolate which one it is or simply do a Google search. Shutting off the service should prevent any future issues with Windows loading her into memory.

just tell her your with siri now she will soon kill her self
