I've disabled cortana, or so I thought because I notice she's running in the background. Is there a way to stop her from running in the background?
I believe Cortana is now the start menu / certain functions of the task bar. What happens if you kill her process? Does things top working?
ok i renamed that whole cortana folder right after i stopped the cortana process and it worked. i'd rather do a search in explorer its much better. the search bar didn't find a lot of things, wasn't a very good search for things in my pc
If you want a decent, fast, and free search program for files/folders, google UltraSearch.. no need for any M$ integrated search
I installed LTSB too, but as soon as I enter text in the search box SearchUI.exe loads and connects to Microsoft. Try it yourself. I just added a firewall rule to block that exe.
