Most people don’t prefer to use Cortana, this is probably why Cortana is no longer part of the first boot experience in windows 11 and is not on the taskbar by default.

However, Cortana continues to exist in Windows 11, it’s not enabled by default. Although, users, who like to use it, can enable the same and start using Cortana with a few simple clicks.
