I got my windows 8.1 update yesterday. Everything looks fine but this is weird that I don't have cortana on it.
The os version: 8.10.12393.890
Firmware revision number: 3051.50009.1424.0008

Does anyone know what could be the reason or can anyone give me a solution for not having cortana on Windows 8.1?

Thanks

Do you have your region set to United States? And if so... Try going to settings and swiping to the right to "applications" you should see Cortana there and be able to turn it on. Hope this helps 😊

I've tried already those steps and also it has Lumia Cyan software on it. I am not sure if it has Cortana on this version.

I finally got cyan last night on my 925 on 3uk. I changed every setting on the phone from English (UK) to English (US) and I got Cortana.

First follow the steps by order.
1.region->us
2.language->eng(us)
3.speech->eng(us)
If nothing seems okay Do a reset..!

[Mahmood03]

Yes, i did those steps now and they had an update while I downloaded the eng(us) speech but still no Cortana :(

Don't forget to change your keyboard to US

[Mahmood03]

I've deleted all the keyboard except English(US)

And switch on your location too

[Mahmood03]

Still no improvement

Make sure the english keyboard is at the top!

[Mahmood03]

Yea thats the only keyboard I have enabled. I found one thing. The time zone is automatically set to Bogota,Lima, Quito.

[Mahmood03]

I did but as you can see the time zone is set to some other area. i dont know if I need to change it

[Aniket Mhatre]

Your location is off

Solved it. The display language was English (UK) on top. So I changed it to English (US) on top.

Mine neither.
Language is on US English
Keyboard has US English/Italian/simplified qwerty chinese
System on US english
Region Taiwan

Cortana has disappeared. I realized just now because i heard others claiming they had similar issues and noticed it is not there. It won't be missed anyways. I just want my keyboard inputs in place.....apparently Microsoft is a bit late on that (not much, just 4 years late).

Cheers

Read every post carefully so you will noy miss a thing.

Do you really have to change the time zone to US?

[SamNerd]

I am having the exact problem as you.. :(

[David Van Ryn]

Did anyone find a solution for this, i live in Belgium, and no matter what i do or change in region, language, and keyboard settings, cortana never show's up, only the "regular" voice commands. it also does not show up in app-list or app settings (swipe to left in settings). It drives me crazy, i wantz Cortana to tell me bed-site story's :(

I can see your problem straight off, the region is set to Taiwan and that needs to be set to US in order to get the Beta version of Cortana.
