Re: How do I get out of the Cortana screen?

Hi, Ashleigh.

 

To Terminate Cortana

 

 

1. Open Windows Settings with Windows key plus I.

2. TAB to the list of Settings categories.

3. Right Arrow to Apps, and press ENTER.

4. TAB about nine times to the list of apps.

5. Arrow down to Cortana, and press ENTER.

6. TAB to Advanced Options, and press ENTER.

7. TAB to the Terminate button, and press ENTER.

8. Close Settings.

 

That's it. Cortana's window won't appear again until the next time you use the app.

Where would all those settings be? I’m also having trouble exiting the application of Cortana even though I press alt F4 but does no good. Therefore, I just don’t use it unless I need to/restart my computer immediately afterward to get out of there.

Hi, Bill. I copied your earlier directions on how to quit Cortana. Here, you add to make sure that Cortana's Background Apps setting is turned off. I can’t find that option. Is it hidden if it’s already turned off?

Before you can find the Terminate button in Cortana, you must TAB to Advanced Options, and press ENTER. Also, make sure Cortana's Background Apps setting is turned off, as well as Start Cortana at logon.

Auh, yes I will try.

I know someone out there will probably correct me. Smile

So if I missed something, I hope they do

 

Ok, I went to my settings by going to start key and I

Then go to to system and arrow to the right until you hear aps

You have to tab down until you get to the listings of programs

Then you have to find terminate and space bar

In my case my cortana was checked to be in the back ground, so I unchecked that as well.

I think that was it

I apologize if I missed a step

But it was done over the phone

Smile
