How to disable Siri when the enable box is not checked but Siri is still enabled, with its pop up window still popping up? (i've restarted the computer but with Siri still being enabled. Thanks to anyone who has the time and any ideas.

PS I'm asking about Siri on a 2020 MBP. with Catalina, although on this page it only says iPhone XR and iOS17. This was autofilled. I typed/am still typing on my 2020 MBP/Catalina, and the problem is occurring on MBP

The current stable release and bug fixe of Catalina macOS 10.15.7....

Unclear what exact Mac is this—an Intel Mac or a M-series Mac you do not say(?)

Touchbar(?) or NO Touchbar(?)

If you accidentally(?) hit the SIRI on the Touchbar or Control Strip Make changes to those settings...

I am not on your old macOS... However search Settings (or Preferences) : Both Siri / Touch Bar and make some changes.

I have it turned off on my 2019 Intel Mac w/ macOS 26.1 w/Touchbar and it never comes up— I do see it on the "expanded" Control Strip however.
