Interesting, they are suggesting blocking Cortana using the firewall, lol.
And look at the path:
%windir%\systemapps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n 1h2txyewy\SearchUI.exe
What happens if MS changes those cryptic numbers from version to version...

Regards,

That identifier remains the same. It is apparently a PublisherID.

PublisherId : cw5n1h2txyewy

If the Publisher was Adobe, maybe the ID would be different.

Ah, yes, you are correct, cw5n1h2txyewy is indeed the PublisherID. Nice
to see it wont change :-)

Thanks; you are always helpful Sir.
