Cortana, Thanks. But No Thanks. I'll Keep My Privacy to Myself
How to Turn Off Cortana: Hey, Cortana, don't invade my privacy
So many people tell me that Cortana is driving them crazy. Bing, Cortana and Microsoft Privacy Policies are all intertwined. There are a lot of entities tracking, sharing, and selling information about you, along with what you're saying and what you're looking for online.Disable it this way:
- Press the Win key to open the Start Menu.
- Search for “Cortana & Search Settings” and select the option that appears.
- Disable Cortana in the first toggle in the menu.
- Once Cortana is disabled, you should see an option that reads “Search online and includes web results.” Disable this toggle.
Once you’ve done this, your Start Menu should only show you results for your local machine.

So, stay away from Bing might be the best answer.

About The Author:
August Brice, Founder, Tech Wellness and SaferTech. August’s passion is to bring mindfulness and balance to our relationship with technology. She began her wellness journey over 25 years ago, when as a young mother and the busy Co-CEO of a successful advertising agency, August developed symptoms which she later identified as electro-magnetic sensitivity or ES. That began her journey to learn more and share what she learned with others. Her first videos on the subject were published over a dozen years ago. She is a patent holder, along with Dr. Carlo on a device designed to protect users from the RF radiation put out by our smart phones. Unlike most other sites dealing with these topics, Tech Wellness vets all posts through a panel of world renowned experts and independently purchases and tests products that claim to offer protection. August’s mission is to be a trusted resource for people searching for balance with their technology.
