I got paranoid when Cortana invades a bit of my privacy so I searched how to uninstall it. Without knowing the disclaimers when using the Powershell I used this code
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Remove-AppxPackage
Then I used this:
Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Which is the wrong code. It should be for allusers. I managed to install cortana again but the built in settings were gone
Then I used this even with the new Cortana installed so I could revert it back to the built in features (it did not retain the built in options):
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
I saw what are the consequences on the net. But on May 2020 Cortana became a separate app from windows. Nothing happened bad on my computer as of now. Im not gonna use Cortana. But I'm afraid, paranoid, and anxious on what could happen due to what I did to the powershell and removing the built in or bundled Cortana. Will I get malware? will my private info get leaked? will my files get deleted? Will my OS malfunction? will my computer stop working? Will I got problems on the next windows updates in the future for deleting the built in cortana? I should have not uninstalled it if Windows wont allow it in the first place. Please I need assurance. My computer is fairly new. Thank you very much.
