Like many others, I have been getting the Alarm error: "Something went wrong. Try again in a little bit." (8000ffff)
I saw the suggestion to remove any third-party alarm apps, but I didn't have any!
After a little head-scratching, I checked my "TinyDO" app and sure enough--a couple items had alarms set for them. I disabled the alarm, and now Cortana sets alarms for me!
I went back in and re-enabled the alarm for a TinyDO item, and Cortana started giving me the alarm error again.
So, another fix besides removing any alarm apps, is to disable alarms in other apps (i.e. reminder or to-do apps).
Hope this helps!
