However, for mid-range or low-RAM computers, Cortana is very heavy. This smart Robo will take up a large portion of computer resources while running in the background. That's why many people want to turn off Cortana because they don't use it. That will help the computer save a large amount of resources.
Instructions to turn off Cortana on Windows 10
I will guide you to turn off this annoying robot. However, you can still reopen it when necessary. When you don't need it, turn it off to save device resources and increase battery life. To turn off Cortana, follow the instructions below.
In Windows 10 Home and higher versions, there will be different shortcuts. I will divide into 02 instructions for the Home version and the remaining versions.
For Windows 10 Home
Group Policy Editor is not integrated on Windows 10 Home so we have to turn it off another way. We will use it Editor Registry To turn off Cortana by pressing a key combination Windows + R to open the dialog box Run. Then enter the keyword “regedit” then press Enter to enter the Regestry interface.
Next, you access the following link one by one:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Policies / Microsoft / Windows / Windows Search
If you don't see the Windows Search folder, right-click on the Windows item. Then choose New -> Key to create a new KEY and name it Windows Search.
Continue to right-click on the Windows Search folder and select New to create a new key. Select the DWORD (32-bit) Value key and name it AllowCortana.
Next, double click on the File AllowCortana just created above and change the Value value to 0 to disable. Finally press OK to apply the settings.
Now turn off the computer and turn it back on so that it applies the newly changed system settings. To turn Cortana back on, change the Value value in the key AllowCortana it becomes 1 again.
For Windows Pro and higher versions
Similar to the above method, but this time we will use it Group Policy Editor. Press the Windows + R key combination to open the dialog box Run and fill gpedit.msc
- Then open the Search folder according to the following path:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search- Click Search to see the item AllowCortana appears in the right window.
- Double click on it and select Disable to disable Cortana.
Now you just need to reboot your computer to apply system changes. To re-enable Cortana, you just need to Enable the item again AllowCortana is to be.
