Windows 10 is

[Bleipriester]

I think the most elegant way is "startisback" that does not only replace the MS sandwich board with a proper start menu but also offers to prevent Cortana from being loaded at all.

the "free version" you linked for me a while back didn't work so I would have to buy it. Unfortunately I can find nothing that backs up your claim Cortana is prevented from loading.

I still wonder why it doesn´t work for you. I only offer what worked fine for me. As for preventing Cortana, you must check the respective box. I do have two fixed sib versions for Windows 10: The second release candidate and v1.1.0.

Check your Task Manager Processes, bet you'll see Cortana still running in the background collecting data.

I am not using Windows 10. I just checked it out. But sib is a really good piece of software, not like the other alternatives and when they say it disables the Cortana processes, then it does.

I doubt it does disable Cortana as I can find nothing about it actually being able to do that. What it does do is the same thing Classic Start and others do is replace Cortana's search bar with it's own but does not disable Cortana, that's a separate process.

You have to kill Cortana with fire! Edge, too. What I did was boot from a Linux disk then delete the *.exe. In Windows OS, 7 won't let you

delete, and in-use Cortana restarts itself.

How can you know when it doesn´t work anyway?

Cortana is non functioning using my method, as for Edge it doesn't run in the background like Cortana does so all you have to do is shut Edge off.

When sib is not working for you for some reason, the Cortana disabling feature won´t work as well.

You can configure sib so that its settings will open if you open the Windows button´s context menu and choose properties. If you didn´t, you can find the settings in the sib folder:

Given that I am running Windows 8.1 (startisback+), there are no Cortana options. But with Windows 10 (startisback++) you will find it among the many customization options. sib disables Cortana by not allowing its processes to run in the first place.

If we discuss in an environment in which everything said is assumingly wrong and has to be proven, then there is no sense at all in discussion. Maybe, other users don´t want to rename processes but simply want to check a box and have a proper start menu. I cannot prove anything about Cortana.

Still missing the point, you made a specific claim about something you obviously know nothing about and that in itself requires proof, proof that doesn't fit you nebulous "wrong assumptions" excuse but proof that should be readily available inline.
As for your linked blog....... I'm not going to read through the whole thing to find "your" proof, that's a deflection on your part, you waste your time not mine or stop making unverifiable claims. It really is that simple.

That's interesting and kinda - sorta all I was asking for the whole time as I could not find it anywhere but a blog? Let's put it in perspective, Cortana is hated by many PC knowledgeable people, nothing on the SIB page makes that claim, a claim that given the hatred for Cortana would be plastered on SIB's page in bold letters and plastered all over the internet by independent imags. Why only in one blog but not anywhere else? See my point now?

The tool is a one man project. It reaches more people on the forum than on a webpage especially made for sib. Most of the established download pages offer it, anyway.
