Please help me destroy Cortana

I've tried everything. I consider myself a "power user" however, this is the first time I've not been able to solve something like this. I dont care what the repercussions are via search etc. It needs to die. On fresh restart, the process uses 67%+ CPU cycles (i7 6700K @ 4.8Ghz OC). Unacceptable.

I've used gpedit.msc and disabled her.

I've also used all the various regedits around.

This is pissing me off because i know how to Google and RTFM, but my case seems unique. I cant have this big an overhead as i have VM services that I've balanced my system resources towards.

Any advice reddit?
