    Have you tried the following:

    1. Click on Windows Icon in your task bar.
    2. Type "Settings" and click the "Settings" gear icon. This should pop up a windows with the current user log in (your information)
    3. Look for "Apps" and click on it. A window will appear in the right side
    4. Type "Cortana" and click on the 3 dots, choose "Advanced option" and turn off toggle for "Run at log in".

    Let me know if this helps.
