NoelC Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Well, it's been a couple of days since I booted up my Win 10 VM, and I was feeling more and more festive as the horrible memories were fading, but since it's you asking I'll make an exception and boot up the abomination...

NoelC Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Google turns up a number of ways to do it, by the way. For example: http://www.howtogeek.com/226638/make-the-windows-10-start-menu-and-cortana-search-google-instead-of-bing/ http://fieldguide.gizmodo.com/you-can-make-cortana-ditch-bing-for-google-in-windows-1-1721950842 http://www.pcworld.com/article/2986172/windows/how-to-make-cortana-search-with-google-instead-of-bing-in-windows-10.html -Noel Edited January 5, 2016 by NoelC
RanCorX2 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) weird why some of you are having cortana reinstall it self. not sure if this relevent, but i downloaded two simple ps scripts that just run the following commands; Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage (removes all metro apps)Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage –online (cleans up) then i run the cortana script from here that removes it with dism / wimtweak then i run my own that removes with dism / wimtweak, just to check it's gone, if it just flys through then i know it's gone.(same removal command just without all the custom stuff script bits) haven't had cortana return once in more than 20 reinstalls of windows 10. have you guys deleted all the app registry keys amd folders from systemapps & the program files app folder (if relevent) i didn't look to see if cortana is stored in the app folder like in windows 8 with it's apps. Edited January 5, 2016 by RanCorX2
aviv00 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) same directories that relate to Cortana which have manifest files, might cause it to reinstall it again Edited January 5, 2016 by aviv00
RanCorX2 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 the only sure way it would reinstall is if the package still exists on your system though, no package = no install right? or does it come through windows update?
aviv00 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I think metro apps have another place with manifest filesI removed those folders also, it didn't reinstalled it However don't remember if update was disabled Edited January 5, 2016 by aviv00
RanCorX2 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 sure others have noticed but there's packages in, i missed those. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages
aviv00 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I found the problem i gonna relite tomorrw i find those dirsU can use whereisit application to find it
themechman Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) So it seems that over on another IT pro forum I'm subbed to, a lot of folks are getting overly concerned with the fact that they cant turn things off or get rid of them in their enterprise enviro. Would it be of any help if I forward some of them here? I typically dont cross forums, but the feedback on a larger scale might be useful. Also, cortana's still gone!

dencorso Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Would it be of any help if I forward some of them here? I typically dont cross forums, but the feedback on a larger scale might be useful. Please feel free to do it.
NoelC Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I see no reason you can't forward people to this thread. It really works. -Noel
NoelC Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Just experimenting with insider build. Installed build 14251.1000 as an in-place upgrade to 10586.71 just as an experiment. Observations: Telemetry settings are turned back on (per O&O ShutUp10).All Apps are reinstalled.OneDrive, settings sync, Cortana all reinstated.Services that had been disabled are re-enabled.Scheduled tasks that had been disabled are re-enabled.My firewall shows lots more connections being attempted again (I had 10586 quiet). Looks like it's going to be pretty much the same experience as the upgrade to version 10586 from 10240. After removing all the Apps Cortana kept trying to come back on reboot this time around, so in frustration I swept through the registry and wiped her the hell out. Now she doesn't try to come back, but I may have cut too deep and now some stuff doesn't work - I can't seem to start the Services.msc snap-in any longer, for example. I believe I'm going to restore my pre-App removal snapshot and go through it again carefully when I'm more fresh. For anyone seriously considering following down the Redmond yellow brick road, it really does seem to warrant the development of an automated tweaker / re-tweaker script or program, if that's possible. I can see where getting a Win 10 system back into shape after each in-place upgrade really is going to take days. This exercise has me all the more convinced I really don't want to get on the track to receive what Microsoft is shoveling. Thank goodness I have got my Win 8.1 and 7 systems under control to where they're not trying to become Win 10 systems. At least it looks to be still possible using the tricks and tweaks in this thread to remove all the Apps... -Noel Edited January 30, 2016 by NoelC
maxXPsoft Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Just experimenting with insider build. Installed build 14251.1000 as an in-place upgrade to 10586.71 just as an experiment. Observations: And we get to do this FULL install because they fixed 3-4 things and every 3 months or so Haven't installed the 14251.1000 yet but will when I get time. How the hell we create a Corp so we can do LTSB? Call ourselves GAG (Geeks Against Garbage)Prob not worth it $ wise
NoelC Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Well, to be fair it costs big $$$ to be on the enterprise path. Not that I'm against paying for a good OS, but what we'd get is just Windows 10 with a slight improvement (no need to reinstall every 4 months isn't exactly a feature, more like a slight reduction of pain near the chair). Nope, I will not be paying for Windows 10. It may be a long time - if ever - before I run it in any fashion except as a curiosity in a virtual machine, even IF I get this re-tweaker I'm working on in good working order. -Noel
