How to fully remove Cortana for current/all users

For those who want Cortana completely gone for all current and future users, PowerShell provides a more permanent solution. This method removes the Cortana app package at the system level and prevents it from being provisioned to new accounts. It’s more aggressive than simply uninstalling, so create a restore point or backup first in case you want to bring Cortana back later.

Caution: this removes the Cortana app package. Some deep OS integrations (search/indexing) may be affected. Create a restore point or full backup first.

If you simply want Cortana to stop running in the background and launching at startup — without touching deep system settings or uninstalling anything — this method is the safest choice. It uses only built-in Windows 11 settings and Task Manager, so you can easily reverse the changes later.
