I've just done (i.e. been forced to do) Windows Update (KB3140743), and yet again, it has killed Cortana. Cortana has been working fine for over a week now, after much hair-pulling, and what do I get after the latest update? Back to Cortana being non-reponsive, and freezing my entire computer...

Cortana + OneNote = not useable Hi I'm running Cortana on Windows 10 (Lenovo laptop) with UK regional settings. I have not been able to get any use out of Cortana and OneNote. Every time I ask Cortana to take a note, she wraps up after about 3 or 4 words (while I'm right in the middle of...

I had this too - it turns out in my case the issue was because an update ran which updated my audio drivers. I went to Device Manager and rolled back the drivers to the previous version, then Cortana worked again.

Another bug - when you ask Cortana the status of your flight, she says "your flight xxxx is scheduled to leave xxxx on Sunday the year 21 at 11:40" - so she is referring to the day as the year, which is bizarre. Oh my word, this application is SO buggy!!!! I'm a software developer, and I'm...

Hi So, beside that fact that Cortana deletes all my flight information from time to time, and I have to redo it all manually (because, unlike the advertised functionality, Cortana does NOT pull in any data whatsoever from my emails, and yes, I have that enabled in the settings)... I have been...

Cortana has cost me hours of my time. Each time I think I've solved the problem because it works for a couple of hours, then explicably it just breaks again - and it doesn't just break itself, it freezes my computer. When it does work, it only in reality offers about a 3rd of the advertised...

Although this thread is a bit old, I was having this same issue, as well as not being able to search the settings. I thought I'd post my solution here, as I spent nearly a whole day on this annoying problem, including re-installing Windows 10. In my case, it was to do with the whole regional...

Thanks - I had already updated all my drivers. I didn't know about the Taskbar tidbits, though, I'll turn that off - I wasn't getting anything anyway. It feels like only about 10% of what Cortana (UK version) offers actually works - although I found an un-advertised bit of functionality that...

Hi all Since I upgraded to Windows 10 last week, I've been stuck in a cycle of restarting my computer around 10 times a day, all due to Cortana. She will work for approximately and hour or so, then for no apparant reason, stop working. If I click on the microphone, my entire computer freezes...

I had a nightmare with Cortana initially - really flaky stuff where she would respond for about an hour then for no apparent reason, just stop talking, after which the computer would keep freezing every time I tried to interact with her (through multiple restarts). I seem to have resolved these...
