Microsoft shuts down Cortana app on Windows 11 | The digital assistant was first part of Windows Phone and now it’s being discontinued on Windows.::Microsoft has discontinued Cortana on Windows 11. The digital assistant no longer functions as a standalone app, years after Microsoft shut down its Cortana iOS and Android apps.
I use windows boxes all the time every day and have since windows 3.1 and I’ve never used cortana.
I don’t know of anyone who has. Ever.
I used it once. When it first came out. When imaging 125 machines at once.
Just turned the volume up and let all the Cortana’s just yammer away at the same time.
It was beautiful.
I then shut them all down and Reimaged them with an image that had it disabled by policy.
I tried to use it once and it didn’t work so I just forgot about it.
