    This does not "turn off" Cortana this just kills the process. This also would only make search work until a system reboot happened. This answer seems incomplete.

    I edited to address your concerns. This lasts longer than one reboot simply because the problem doesn't crop up on every reboot for me, only occasionally once I turned off Cortana with its on/off switch.
