In the Windows 10 taskbar, the Cortana button is displayed by default.
If you wish, you can hide it. Let’s see how to do this.

Before continuing, I recommend making a backup of the Registry.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > Advanced.

Hit the OK button.
That’s all.
