Is it possible to get rid of Cortana?
Hi all,
When I I am typing in an edit field, let's say on social media, NVDA loses focus and moves to Cortana. I never use that Windows application and wonder if it is possible to get rid of it and if it is would it help the issue of losing focus? -- Nevzat Adil Library of Congress Certified Literary Braille Proofreader C: 512 502 4403 e-mail: nevzatadil@gmail.com Facebook: m.facebook.com/LiteraryBrailleProofreader

I don't think you can get rid of it but it can be disabled.

Nevzat,
That's not typical behavior I've encountered before. You used to be able to fully disable Cortana, and I had for a very long time. As of Version 20H2 of Windows 10 she has reappeared on the taskbar, but remained silent for me. I just got rid of the button using the context menu for the Taskbar. Bring up the context menu for the Taskbar and make sure that the "Show Cortana" option is unchecked. If it's not present to try to draw focus, and you don't use Cortana, that might very well do the trick. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 If you think that you can think about a thing, inextricably attached to something else, without thinking of the thing it is attached to, then you have a legal mind. ~ Thomas Reed Powell
