Double-click the policy name ‘Allow Cortana‘ and you will see policy window appears just click ‘Disabled‘ and ‘OK‘.

 

Now press Win+R and type Regedit into the search box. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search.  Now right-click the Windows directory and select New > Key and name it Windows Search.
