If you don’t have a Cortana notification already waiting, you can turn them off at any time by heading to Settings > System > Notifications & Actions. While it’s certainly not ideal that Microsoft does this by default in Windows 10, the good news is that you can at least turn off notifications for Cortana, whether you use the feature or not.įirst, if you happen to catch one of the Cortana notifications while it’s still in your Action Center, you can quickly turn off Cortana notifications by hovering your cursor over the notification, clicking the small gear icon, and selecting Turn off notifications for Cortana. In fact, they want you to use Cortana so much that they pester you with notifications, even if you never touched Cortana in the first place.
Microsoft really wants you to use Cortana, the built-in digital assistant in Windows 10.
