Bottom Left Hot Corner in Windows 10

In Start 8 there's a choice under the "Desktop" section to "Disable bottom left hot corner when the taskbar overlaps it." Why isn't this option in Start 10? I can't get rid of the "Search the web and windows" long grey rectangular block in the bottom left section of the taskbar and it is blocking my Browser icon.

Start 8 is so wonderful, why did they change it at all? Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this annoyance?

Thank you,

Michelle

That annoyance, I believe, is Cortana, and it can be turned off.

It is late, but I will come here and tell how to do it in the morning. I'll have to do it to be able to tell you, but I know Cortana can be turned off.

right click taskbar hover over cortana and you got hidden show cortana icon and show search bar.hidden hides it

on an important note tho if you hold windows and press s you can still search and hey cortana still works.but that annoying search bar wont be visible unless you aim to use it

ps they change the hot corner thing because the search cortana isnt a hot corner.hotcorners was where icons of desktop and tabs used to show and the charms functions

those no longer exist,but the above will help you on your journey
