1. Open Run and type gpedit.msc and open Registry Editor
2. Search this key [Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Search]
3. Allow Cortana and double-click on it to open it
4. Select Disabled.
5. Modify Value to 0.

Follow this guide: https://www.hows.tech/2019/04/disable-cortana-in-windows-10.html

But I feel it still can spy on you, the option is group policy editor.
