Disabling Cortana, for real.
No hate posts please. The idea of Cortana is great. Especially from a nerdy "my computer is a lady and can talk to me" standpoint. I dig that. But realistically, I'm not going to make use of Cortana's awesomeness, and I know it. So, I want to stop Cortana from taking up my system resources if I can.
So far I have clicked the little setting "gear" symbol and turned off "Search Online" and "Cortana can give suggestions, alerts, etc.". Those were the only two options under settings. I'm fine with the search bar itself being on my task bar, so I haven't hidden it. Though I tried doing that to see if it made a difference. Still, when I check Task Manager Cortana is still listed using up memory.
Any ideas how to stop that?
