[SOLVED] Remove Cortana using PowerShell Error?

[TrigMan59]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to remove Cortana from my Windows 10 using PowerShell, Version 5.1 with the command: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Remove-AppxPackage

i keep getting the following error message:

Get-AppxPackage : Access is denied.
Access is denied.
At line:1 char:1

• Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Remove-AppxPackag ...
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: ) [Get-AppxPackage], UnauthorizedAccessException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.GetApp
xPackageCommand

Does anyone have a solution to get past this Access Denied error and remove Cortana? Please let me know, thanks.

DUH! My mistake. I forgot to Run PowerShell as an Administrator. Problem solved and Cortana removed!
