    I recently had the same problem with an Elantech touchpad not working on my Acer Aspire laptop. Installing Intel IO Serial drivers from Acer would solve the problem, until I ran an 'in place install'...

    Solved!

    I recently had to do a recovery of my system, to OOTB conditions. Finally, the annoying Cortana message is gone! It's too bad that Microsoft insists on cramming their spam down people's throats this...

    See This Thread. It seems that there is no easy way to get rid of this spam. I was recently forced to perform a full recovery of my system, to OOTB conditions (due to other issues), and that did get...

    That's odd. I can logon to my laptop with either my local account, or my Microsoft account, and when I click on the Store, it doesn't ask for a username/password. I would try resetting your Microsoft...

    (Sigh). I'm not going to argue with you; a simple Google search will return numerous results about uninstalling Cortana, and the memory-hogging SearchUI. Doing so without first installing Classic...

    For those who want to reinstall Cortana, and (foolishly) did not backup their OS, or create a Restore point:

    I already have 'Cortana tips' turned off, so that's not it. And, yes, I have clicked 'Not now' ... several times. Somehow, I'm not surprised that there isn't a "Don't show this again" option. Good...

    Thanks, but I don't want to turn Cortana off, and I have already turned off most sharing in settings. I've been a computer geek since around '87 (DOS 3.1, then Windows 3.0), so I'm not some clueless...
