It seems that NS disables Cortana (& search bar) for security reasons.

It seems that NS disables Cortana (& search bar) for security reasons. I'm running Windows 10 and Norton 360 downloaded almost 2 years ago. Yes it gets updated regularly.  

I'm not keen on Cortana and understand why NS cuts it off (it spies on you) but is there a way to just keep search bar?

Is there a setting or 2 in either of Windows or NS that I can adjust so I can have security and space bar?
