How does Cortana compose e-mails?

Nope. I turned off all the info sharing options, so... no Cortana for me. I really don't care, really. It doesn't seem useful to me at all.

Same here ... hate it ...!!

I have used it some, and intend to use it more as time goes on, I find it quite useful sometimes when I can't type properly or something.

I cant get Cortana to work. Says its disabled by company policy. it was working when i first installed. Language and region set to UK but I only have an option for speech US. Cant seem to get around it.

Do you have a xbox one do you use connect then u have already agreed to all the information sharing as it does the same thing as cortona.

Its process still runs in the background even if it is disabled under the name of "Cortana". It uses 50 MB of RAM! That's not an issue since I have plenty of free RAM, but talk about a resource hog. 50 MB for search and a few news stories?

Cortana uses 0.1MB in here. it doesn't utilize the ram always 50 MB , windows 10 has extremely good memory management method. I just tested it.
it only goes to 50MB+ when you click on the Cortana icon and then it stays like that and then when the system needs more memory it automatically goes back to 0,1MB.

Can't I enable an English Cortana even if my version of Windows 10 is in another language?

you should have english language pack and US as the region.
you can also add your own language too.
