Windows 10 came from the hand of Cortana, the Windows virtual assistant, an assistant that took its name from the Microsoft video games Halo. As the years have passed, the functionalities of Cortana have been increased, however, since Microsoft have decided not to continue with their development and focus it on your applications.
In Spanish it means that Cortana will not receive new functionalities in the next updates that Microsoft releases in the future, therefore, if we did not use it until now, now is a bad time to start doing itTherefore, it is best to disable it and make it disappear from Windows 10.
Through the Windows configuration options, we can prevent it from running when we start the system, so it will not affect the startup time of our computer and we also prevent it from consuming resources in the background.
The first thing to keep in mind is that the possibility of being able to uninstall Cortana in Windows 10 it's from build 2004. If you want know what is the build of Windows 10 that you have installed on your computer, you just have to type winver in Cortana's text box.
Uninstall Cortana in Windows 10
The first thing to do is run PowerShell as administrator (we access it through the Cortana search box and right-clicking to run it as administrator). PowerShell, like the Windows registry, are dangerous if we do not do the instructions that we detail correctly.
Next we write the following command without the quotes «Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Remove-AppxPackage»
A few seconds later, the command line will reappear and Cortana will have already been disabled. If we want to go back to activate Cortana we must go to the Microsoft Store, find Cortana in the store and install again as if it were an application.
