One of the standout new features found in Windows 10 is the addition of Cortana. For those unfamiliar, Cortana is a voice-activated personal assistant. Think of it as Siri, but for Windows. You can use it to get weather forecasts, set reminders, tell you jokes, send email, find files, search the Internet and so on.

Microsoft really wants you to use Cortana, the built-in digital assistant in Windows 10. 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. The good news is that you can at least turn off notifications for Cortana, whether you use the feature or not.

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.
