Why am I not able to type things to Cortana?

Issue regarding typing to Cortana.

If i tell Cortana, something to do, she does that..... but if I type the same action to her, she says, "I can't connect.......", why is that??
Condition: At times when you can't talk but need to do something and typing in is your only option!

Re: Issue regarding typing to Cortana.

Not sure, but I've had varying success as well. Sometimes she seems to get stuck in a 'search the web' mode for every question.

Most annoying for me is that she is picky about time format. If I type "remind me to pay the bill at 4.15pm" she asks "when would you like me to remind you". I think 4:15 pm works, but 4:15pm and 4.15pm don't. I wish she was a bit more flexible.
