Cortana has been disabled during first time setup.

January 6, 2019

Have you ever experienced when setting up new machines, suddenly Cortana voice command will appear? This situation is really disturbing, for me.

The latest Windows build has disabled the Cortana voice-over when setting up Windows 10 for the first time in an enterprise setting.

Cortana has become a somewhat unwelcome feature in Windows 10, until Microsoft has been making increasing moves to distance themselves from their voice assistant.

This feature has been introduced in Windows Insider Preview Build 18309.
