If I simply disable 'Hey cortana' in Settings, I only ever see it and any resource usage related to it if I press Win key + C e.g. to set a reminder. You can see my build.
Under what circumstances and in what way does it appear? Screenshot?
Hello mate,
You could use the tutorial below to uninstall Cortana.

OR
You can use an option in the tutorial below to completely disable Cortana in Windows 10.

Get WinAero Tweaker here: https://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.1836
And just click the check box. Or you can upgrade to Win 10 v2004, and just uninstall Cortana.
BUT, WinAero Tweaker has about 200 other things you can change with just a check mark. :)
Is this your problem- high CPU usage- or something else?
Windows 10 KB4512941 (Build 18362.329) is causing high CPU usage

Do that but now I have no search icon. - i.e. simple magnifying glass.
Undo whatever you just did that removed the search icon, and you can use what I posted above to uninstall or disable Cortana without affecting anything else.
If I right click the box "Type here to search" two options appear at Cortana - 1. Show Cortana Icon 2. Show Search Box - whichever I tick I still have Cortana. Either a small circle or the search box,
I just want the old magnifying glass.
