Cortana can also operate even if your device is locked. If the setting is enables, then you can provide voice commands from the lock screen and Cortana will listen to it and act accordingly. However, this feature is not very safe if your device is used by multiple persons. Your integrity might get compromised. So, the best option is to turn off Cortana while you are away from your computer, that is, your computer is on lock screen. The process if locking down Cortana on lock screen is extremely easy.
