Cortana is perma disabled from both windows but also an additional program called Windows Tweaker.  I never saw the point of it, so yay! No CPU problems for me &lt;3,(reply>), Careful if modifying a lot of things in Winaero Tweaker, I've had unexplained problems like Windows Update not opening even when enabled and Geforce Experience refusing to open even after reinstalling &amp; resetting drivers. I haven't run into weird issues like this since I stopped configuring stuff in Winaero Tweaker. Use Group Policy Editor to disable things if possible that way Windows knows if you disabled something like Windows Update and doesn't break.,(reply>), @Simpson Yea sure, I more meant that the program dont even work AT ALL anyway, due to MS patching it, and the app not updating or cant.,(reply>), @Djuntas but spybot anti beacon checks if all services are still blocked on startup.,(reply>), @Anon Ymous I'll look into that,(reply>), I use Windows 10 LTSC cuts out a ton of bloat
