You accessed Cortana through Task Manager and removed its folder using Command Prompt. Now the search feature isn't responding. Try reinstalling Cortana or checking if your system settings are correctly configured.

Cortana needs to be installed properly, which means you might need to reinstall or fix Windows.

Avoid removing system files unless you're certain about your actions. Turn off Cortana's voice feature—it works similarly to Siri on an iPhone. You can disable the voice assistant if needed. Make sure you saved that folder before deleting it.

Sure, I understand. It's fine not needing it at all. It's just pleasant to have it, though I'll have to use File Explorer for similar tasks. I really don't need it, and since everything is organized, I never search through files this way. Just File Explorer works perfectly.

I interpreted it this way. Siri recommends apps tailored to your habits, which fits within Spotlight or closely connected features such as Cortana and Search.
