[Solved] The return of "speechmodeldownload.exe"... Again and again...

[JC (Orange.fr)]

Hi everyone !

Again the the firewall of Avast ask/shows me for "https" connexion request for the "speechmodeldownload.exe". 

See here a screen capture : https://extraimage.net/image/s8h4

I know this "speechmodeldownload.exe" is official part of Cortana and Is not a virus !

Before, on Windows 10 - 1709, i add  in "Avast Firewall" lists named "Other", "Microsoft" and "Microsoft Corporation" too, the file "speechmodeldownload.exe" located in "C:\Windows\System32\Speech_OneCore\common\" whith "Accept" option...

And everything OK, no more ask and message... BUT UNTIL WINDOWS UPDATE 

The update "Springs Fall Creator" (1803) destroyed all my hopes and despite all my efforts, and again "Avast Firewall" ask/shows me for "https" connexion request for the "speechmodeldownload.exe".

The manual addition of "speechmodeldownload.exe" in the "Avast Firewall" does not solve the problem this time.... It's disorienting.
Not using Cortana, I tried to delete "speechmodeldownload.exe", but it's a system file... 

I hope I have been pretty clear in my explanations.

Did you have the same worries, did you solve it ?

Thank you to all of you.

Good evening.
Thank you at all for your answers…

In fact, I straightforwardly took the bull by the horns and… renammed the infamous folders “Speech_OneCore” of the path “C:\Windows\” and “C:\Windows\System32\” and renammed  the folder “Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy” of the pâth “C:\Windows\SystemApps”, and I ensure you… Nothing any more is displayed... 
 
I know they are not a cool method but that force-fed me and considering there small quantity of user who one it even problem , not the ideal solution is founded early .

All that I can note it is that although I disabled “Cortana” (in the Register with “AllowCortana=dword:00000000”, using a program “Destroy Windows Spying” and that is not enough for me !!!

The group“Cortana” always existed in the “Tasks Manager” with “Cortana” and “Runtime Broker” inside…
Maintaining it is good… No more message display “speechmodeldownload.exe” and no more "Cortana" at the horizon !
