How to Disable Cortana on Lock Screen in Windows 10

With the Windows 10, Cortana is now enabled by default on your lock screen. As good as it is, if you are not using or simply don’t like Cortana on the lock screen, you can easily disable it as needed. Here’s how.

1. First, open the Settings app by pressing the keyboard shortcut Win + I. In the Settings app go to “Cortana” and then “Talk to Cortana.”

2. On the right panel, scroll down until you see the “Lock Screen” section. Toggle the switch under “Use Cortana even when my device is locked” to “Off.”



You’ve now disabled Cortana on the lock screen for your user account. If you want to enable Cortana on lock screen again, all you have to do is toggle the switch to “On.”
