    Cortana was meant to compete with Siri and Google Assistant (and Alexa to a lesser extent), when Windows Phone died they put her on life support and then pulled the plug when ChatGPT became a thing.

      I only ever had her disabled on my machines. I’ve found these voice response systems more annoying than anything.

      I know I know lol, I was actually working for MSFT during the Windows Phone era. =P

      I’m not joking about underground vaults of servers under the main MSFT campus tho, tee hee!

      Seriously, that whole campus just is its own fucking city, MSFT literally has its own… corporate mass transit system, fleets of cars and buses to drive people around, also take them to and from work if you’re roughly within a 20 mile radius of BelRed.
