Re: Privacy and Cortana
Yes, Cortana can be disabled by editing the registry. See How to Disable Cortana in Windows 10’s Anniversary Update.

I've installed Win10 but have not used it except to see that it works. Can Cortana be disabled?
One way to do it
Agree, I still don't get into Win 10 much at all.

Re: Privacy and Cortana
Thanks for the link, Rudi. One change using Group Policy Editor and Cortana is now history.
