One guy posted a Cortana removal scenario that involved deleting the entire Folder where Cortana lives.
That will not only delete Cortana, but also disable the Start Button and Search. Not good!
So I looked for a way to stop the Cortana DLL file from loading into RAM memory.
You can see it, in task-manager, and you can trace where it lives.
I simply changed the name of "Cortana.Core.dll" to "Cortana.Core.ddd" so it won't load into ram on boot-up.
Then I still have the Start button and all it's functions, and Search.
I'm pretty sure that fix could be put into a batch file or VBScript, but I've just not done that yet.
Maybe someone better at scripting than I am will do that. Hint! Hint!
You may have to 'Take Ownership' of that DLL file before you can re-name it.*
* I like the idea of just renaming the DLL file instead of totally deleting it. That leaves the possibility of
re-enabling Cortana at some later date, if needed.
Cheers mates!

PS: Upgrading to Win-10 will shut OFF System Restore, so if you normally have that Windows feature turned ON,
you'll have to turn it ON again after the upgrade.

Have you tried turning off Cortana, then turning Cortana back on?
@drugo is your Location setting turned on?
