    How do I turn off the Cortana popup messages?


    I've set up an Xbox One S for my parents as a media hub. I've turned Cortana off because they actually use "Hey, Cortana" on their Windows 10 notebook PC--often in the same room as the Xbox. They keep getting Cortana popup messages, not unlike the pervasive
    Get Windows 10 messages pre-August 2016. How do I turn them off? They are choosing NOT to use Cortana on that particular device.

    P.S. Microsoft, having the option to use Cortana with the word "Xbox" instead of "Hey, Cortana" would be the ideal solution, but we really need to know how to stop these messages now.

    :)

    Cloud popup

    How do I turn off the popup for cloud saved games, it pisses me off to the point I don't want to play the games anymore.

    "Hey Cortana turn off" works. I haven't tried "hey Cortana turn off the Xbox" yet.

    How do I turn off the Cortana popup messages?

    Hey there Ravenclawln4ks,

    To use normal "Xbox" commands on the Xbox Console you'll just need to disable Cortana. That should remove any Cortana popup messages on the console as well, here's the steps to do that. How to

    Cortana keeps popping up during gaming

    Turning Cortana off did not stop the random occurrences of the "take speech to the next level" popup, and disabling my mic is not an option because I need it to talk to my friends.

    Achievements not poping up

    Try turning Cortana off. Seriously. I had issues with achievements until I turned off Cortana.

    Revert to an actual working Xbox voice command mode

    I specifically said I turned off Cortana because it doesn't work at all, if you turn on Cortana and say, "Hey Cortana Select" while in Netflix it does absolutely nothing. If you say "Hey Cortana Next List" it chooses to Google Next List rather than go to
    the next list. I want to go back to the built in Xbox voice commands that used to work, but after disabling Cortana, they only partially work. How do I get that feature to work again?
