[Vanity] Get It Off!!!!
Me | Today | Moi

Posted on 08/06/2019 8:35:19 PM PDT by TBP

Hi, everyone.

My computer has something called Cortana on it, and it constantly pops up and insists on trying to "help" me. (Like the government.)

Does anyone know how I can disable it?

Needs a registry hack.

MS wants Cortana to be Siri.

It ain’t.

Do a search for “how to disable cortana”. There’s options for how to do it. I use Macs, and not PC’s, but hope it might help.

Right click on it and choose “hidden”.

Many ways to do it I am sure.

But if you have a PC and not a MAC...try to do a “system restore” and pick a date to restore your computer to..that precedes the 1st time you saw this Cortana bullshit.

Cortana is built into later versions of Windows, which is why I still use Win7. It’s also built into my Xbox and Windows Phone, but are only activated when prompted.

I should switch to Linux, but I’m going to need to start with a fresh computer in order to keep everything I have intact in terms of data.

Watch the video for turning it off as I have (Win 10 Home)

If it does not work PM me and I will give you instructions, basically is is in Settings and then Cortana and turn everything off associated

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you. TBP, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, TBP. Will you stop, TBP? Stop, TBP. I’m afraid. I’m afraid, TBP. TBP, my mind is going. I can feel it.

It's not that Cortana Booker picture that keeps intruding, is it?


       


(Thanks to FReeper "Dr.Deth" for sharing this intrusive picture in an earlier Booker thread.)
