Microsoft officially removes Cortana for Windows 11 Insiders
2023-10-05 20:29

Microsoft finally removed the Cortana standalone app from Windows 11 in the latest preview build for Insiders in the Canary Channel.

"Support for Cortana in Teams mobile, Microsoft Teams display, and Microsoft Teams Rooms will end in the fall of 2023. Voice assistance in Outlook mobile and Microsoft 365 mobile will also end in the fall of 2023," Microsoft said at the time.

"This change only impacts Cortana in Windows, and your productivity assistant, Cortana, will continue to be available in Outlook mobile, Teams mobile, Microsoft Teams display, and Microsoft Teams rooms."

Today, the time has come for Cortana to be finally removed from Windows 11 after installing the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25967.

Microsoft also suggests that Cortana users can replace with some of its other recently launched products, including the new AI-powered Bing search engine and Voice access in Windows 11 to control PCs with their voices.

Microsoft now lets you play a game during Windows 11 installs.
