Hey
If I remove Cortana (Microsoft.549981C3F5F10_1.1911.21713.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe) using OSDBuilder (offline DISM) - and then install Windows 10 (2004) - the Cortana button and context menu is still there. (nothing happens when clicking on the Cortana button)
Anyone know why?
Hi,
Open PowerShell as administrator runs the following command.
Get-appxpackage (used for checking if Cortana exists in the computer)
If it exists, try to uninstall it for all user accounts with the command line below.
Get-appxpackage -allusers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Remove-AppxPackage

After executing your command, I executed Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 to verify it has actually been removed, but I got this output:
Name : Microsoft.549981C3F5F10
...
Status : Ok
Also dism /Online /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages | Select-String PackageName | Select-String Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 still found the package (Output: PackageName: Microsoft.549981C3F5F10_3.2109.6305.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe).
Thus, I executed dism /Online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName:Microsoft.549981C3F5F10_3.2109.6305.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.
Now, neiter Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10, nor dism /Online /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages | Select-String PackageName | Select-String Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 give any output.
(Using Windows 10 20H2)
I think you can easily disable it by using the Group Policy objects.
Gpedit.msc
Local Computer Policy --> Computer Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> Windows Components --> Search. Double-click the policy named Allow Cortana.
Then select Disabled.
If you remove it from the image, it comes back.
