Searching for files is what i do on my computer all day long. I guess you did not read the big red warning at the beginning of the article that it breaks the Windows 10 Start menu and search?
How do you expect to have search working if you remove Cortana? Either upgrade to a newer Windows 10 build or reinstall the same built by doing an in-place upgrade. Install Classic Shell whose search is not affected by Cortana and is much faster and more comprehensive. Thank the lords : You are our savior [censored] Windows 10 spyware and especially double [censored] Cortana! Get this man a drink! Also btw guys in case you guys like what OP has done, but miss a potential search functionality.
I found that Everything search for windows 10 does wonders. On installation and first launch it takes a couple minutes to index all your files, but then it provides a very rich and fast search functionality. So any programs or files you cannot access from the tiles or menu you can deep search with the program :. I did this and tried your way of recovering cortana so I could search and it did not work or I could not get it working properly can you please post a good detailed step by step on how to solve it or a video would be nice please?
Used this tool on two different i7 machines. Worked perfectly on clean install of Windows 10 with no predecessor OS. Appeared not to work cleanly on upgrade from Windows 7. As it turns out, Cortana appears to be disabled, but the references remain in the start menu and in the search box, and the icon is still there.
I ran the CMD as an administrator, but all I get is this? Cortana should be uninstalled. Please reboot Windows Press any key to continue. People who give their time so others can benefit, should be appreciated like nothing else. Thank you so much. Think twice before doing this. Your issue is not related to Cortana or any other tweak. I would start with HDD check. Just tried it now. But after reboot the [censored]ing shit is still there. Shows Cortana twice in Task Manager!
Better safe than sorry though. Make sure to install this before you attempt this. Thank you Sergey, Cortana has been completely removed! At least, until the next windows update. I searched in Start10 for Cortana. I right clicked on it and pressed Delete. To my surprise it deleted it with no complaints. Well, how about this one: Disable Cortana in Windows 10 Anniversary Update version It is not a heavy hammer like the current one. Thank you so much for this method of removing Cortana.
Well done Sergey. There are 2 locations where Cortana files dissapeared from my pc. From the extracted files from install. Will other taskbar functions i. Thank you very much. It was good luck? This looks great. It hung immediately, apparently asking me where install.
Get and install a start menu replacement, like ClassicShell or one of the many others available. This is super important, as the big red warning at the top of the page will tell you. Make sure you have your Windows10 install media or a copy of the ISO which you can download from Microsoft. If you are super-duper cautious, backup your system.
With that said, I do have Start 10 and everything still is searchable. Please tell me what to do. In the meantime, I just disabled the Event log for AppReadiness. Does this process interfere with Windows Update at all? I have the same problems. Could you help with an amendment of the script? There is a way to reverse this process? I really appreciate. The world is a better place to live because of people like you. I hit enter and the program closes. Man my search is broke now.
How to undo it? Please help! It indeed removed Cortana, but also disabled windows search as well. How can I get it back? It does not disable search. Try to search something from explorer, it still works. Best way to get rid of Cortana? Just for the record, this is my configuration. The Search function is running well and I do not have any side effects graphics or audio. Just search for it on the net and install it. Works very well and is very versatile.
Both worked perfectly without any issues and I wanted to thank you for your efforts. Do you have any future plans of creating a tweak for this one? Thanks again. I tried this procedure but the Mixed Reality Portal was still in the start menu after I was done. I was hoping for something similar to the others created by you that completely removes it from the system. Thank You. Is that normal? How do I get her back so I can type in the start menue.
Can hiding Cortana get in the way of updates? Please help. Please help, get back to me if you can Sergey or anyone who knows what to do. I need to check it out. Is there any workaround or way to use something like the Search bar whilst still having Cortana disabled?
Just want to be able to look through installed apps. Sorry mate, but the cyber-world became a place of nobody-trust-anybody-else.
If you are an honest, altruist developer, then please accept my apologies. I understand your point. However, the app is open source! The source code is available on MSFN. You can download it and check everything yourself, or compile it by yourself. Does not work with the latest Windows 10 built.
The commonds run fine, but cortana remains on the system after reboot. I followed the prompts exactly and Cortana is still there after restarting. Same, on Insider Build ! No package required for Mixed Reality Portal. Sergei, all of these people have asked countless times if you are going to release a newer version of this script to fix the issue of Cortana not being properly removed on the newer versions of Windows?
It would nice if you could respond and let them know, instead of ignoring them countless times. Did someone force you to try this? I had it gone on three win10 Pro systems and after the update, was unable to remove it using this again on all three. After I restarted it was back on all three. The patch in early Oct seems to have changed Cortana.
If not, totally fine. You do not owe me anything. PS: Thank you for the program up to now.
