I just pressed some key combination, maybe Win+C, which opened some Cortana app which wouldn't close till I killed the task. This got me thinking that I need to get rid of the bloaty shit in this Windows install.

Anyone recommend some good ways to do so?

I've always been a fan of ShutUp10++. It gives a crap load of options to disable (including completely disabling Cortana) and even gives you recommendations about whether you should (and why/not). Works on Windows 11 as well, which is great.
