Re: Windows 8.1 End of Service

@SilleeMee   I have two (?) Cortanas listed in Task Manager processes. They have a note attached that they are suspended (which I didn't do). So when I opened Startup, there were no Cortanas there. 

 

I guess that's OK.

 

I haven't used Control>Alt>Delete in 20 years. Nice to learn what it does in 2023.

 

Thanks again....

@SilleeMee    Thanks. Sleep and notifications were easy. With Cortana, there's no uninstall or disable, just "terminate." That sounds awfully permanent. Poor Cortana. 

 

Do you have an opinion?

Can Cortana read closed captions?  lol  Woman LOL

I ended up having to remove Cortana via entering a command in Power Shell. 

 

If you want to remove Cortana and can't do it though Apps and Features or Task Manager, let me know and I'll give you instructions.
