    Can't right-click on network adapters, nor get into adapter properties, since latest build.

    Ever since upgrading to the latest build, I have been unable to bridge/ unbridge my connection, nor get into Properties for any selected network adapters. What happens is if right-click on the adapter the task bar goes blank for a brief bit, refreshes, then the control panel/ network and...

    Cortana out of Beta

    After about a year from her debut, I've read. In fact, it's the reason why the Xbox One and PC will not see this app until 2015.

    Cortana and Alarms

    I don't like how the alarm doesn't show up in her reminders, only in the separate Alarms app, which is not even needed with Cortana having her own reminder/ alarm section...but yes, I get that same issue too. I also don't like that she herself doesn't wake you up, but only a generic notification...

    Bug? My wife reports that pressing the button on her headset, now brings up Cortana.

    She preferred when this feature paused the song, as it's easier when she's at work and has to speak to someone.

    WP8.1 Tips & Tricks

    Re: WP8.1: Tips and Tricks I don't know when this actually became possible, but you can now manage your own playlists e.g. add/ remove tracks to a playlist. Before, the old method required you to connect to a PC...there was a way to do it on the phone itself, but it relied on a clear play...

    Cortana: Geofencing: Actions

    I agree a "Cortana Tasks" section is needed in her notebook. As of now, if I say "Disable Wifi," she will disable it.

    Developer Preview 8.1 Bugs and Defects Thread

    Re: [Official] Windows Phone 8.1 Bugs and Defects Thread I haven't run into any OS related bugs, but my wife complains of horrible slowness for which I may recommend her a soft boot. Alarm - Cortana sets up an alarm, it doesn't show in her Reminder notebook, but instead, shows up only in the...

    Cortana isnt as smart as its advertised

    True she relies on cloud processing for some things, so even small server side improvements and updates should make a difference. The whole assistant feature is speculated to be in Beta well into 2015 as well. Can't be to hastey and make calls and accusations right off the get go. If this was...

    Cortana: Tips and Tricks (Halo Questions in OP)

    Re: Cortana: Tips and Tricks Makes sense, she's projected to be in Beta up until 2015 lol. The Xbox (inspiring source for cortana) isn't getting her until 2015. Mobile users are the guinea pigs.

    When does cortana say your name?

    Ditto to the above...no success there. I too, got Destiny's Child as a search result...likewise, she also won't say the name of my wife, or other inner circle contacts...even, though, I tagged their nicknames as Dad, Mom, Wife, Brother, Sister etc. One thing is obvious, though...it WILL come...

    Cortana, what I'd like to see next.

    First off, I do understand she is very early into Beta, so these are the things I think would be neat to see...down the road. 1. First, of course, is she sounds mostly like the original Windows voice assist system, but renamed to Cortana...and not like Jen Taylor so much...but I reserve the...

    Cortana's witty replies

    Who's your creator? (different than who's your daddy) She replies with Halsey, but that she technically can't know that for another 500 years (referencing the Halo setting of 2552)

    The Cortana Setup Guide

    I've maximized her capabilities...I even have wake-up times and reminders set...I just wish it was her doing the chiming in and not the standard notification tones. I think it's so awesome when my bosses phone goes off and I hear, over the cubicle "Your daughter is trying to reach you..." or...

    Verbal responses from Cortana?

    This is one of my complaints too. I set my alarm that she created for me...it's just the standard notification chime...no verbal. I've also set some reminders through her and they too, just chime.
