You can uninstall it with winget uninstall cortana, never gave me any issues, works like a charm. Removing edge will break some stuff though, you need some edge render thingie for certain programs like Weather.
It’s basically the new Electron, without most of the bloat of the old Electron. Pretty sweet deal for app developers who need to write an app for both desktops and phones.

I remember, back in the windows 10 days if you uninstall Cortana, Windows search (start menu search) just breaks
But I guess it makes sense now that this works because Microsoft itself is ditching Cortana for Bing AI
Oh shiny new thing!
Well it’s just that Bing AI is what Cortana was supposed to be, but couldn’t have been.
Makes sense they’d ditch it and integrate an LLM model instead.
No one is going to use weather on a PC, that’s what a phone is for
Why would I pick up my phone to check the weather when I’m on my PC already?
I mean is it so much work to lift your phone up tho
It’s unnecessary work considering I have weather app/website on my PC. I don’t see why I’d bother
Yeah the web browser weather is even better because it doesn’t actually take up any space on the computer too. Good point
When you live in a place like Boston, you really need that app
Edge WebView, which can be installed separately. A few third-party apps depend on it.

You are the real mvp here. Just ran it in cmdprompt and it worked like a charm. Love you, random person.
I removed edge from my system , works fine for me !
