Did you disable Cortana in settings? I've seen a few pop-ups telling me how fucking awesome my life would be if I re-enabled it but otherwise it seems to be slain.

First thing I did in both my 10 installations was to neuter all the extra "functionality" like Cortana, Candy Crush and anti-privacy add-ons. I haven't had that many complaints after that.

Operating systems should just be there to run applications. 10 is a bloated, obnoxious attention seeking whore if you don't fiddle with settings for an hour or so. If Cortana were an exacutable application instead of baked in spy/bloat wear I might give it a chance.
