Windows Central Question

It seems to happen when I'm scrolling my touchpad with two fingers. Cortana randomly pops up at the lower left of my screen and is very intrusive. Other posters have recommended changing the three-finger swipe setting on my touchpad, but I do not have that setting. So far the only way I can stop Cortana from coming up randomly (and often) is to disable it altogether, which seems extreme, but I've gotten this far in life without Cortana and I'm sure I'll survive. If there are any other suggestions, I'm open.

in next weeks update the settings for touchpad will show which action has been assigned for Cortana - So you can wait for the Anniversary update, get the settings and change
