Hi. I have Cortana enabled on Windows 10 (SP3), initially with my region/speech settings/etc. set to US but now with them defaulted to their native Australia values. In both instances Cortana seems to work well, I can create reminders, get chit chat responses, get missed call notifications, etc. BUT I can't use music commands like 'play some music' or 'pause', 'play', 'skip'. All of these result in a Bing search.

There is no ror message, just a Bing search. I know some people get a 'something went wrong' error but I don't get that.

Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

EDIT: The play music commands do work when I speak them but not when I type them in. I think maybe I just misunderstood how it was supposed to work.

I was wrong! Or at least I misunderstood how it works. 'Play some music' does work IF I ask via a voice command but not via a text command. So if I speak it's all ok, I get music, but if I type then it just completes a Bing search. It's weird because all the other Cortana commands I know can be typed or spoken but I'm guessing this is different for the music commands and I can assume Cortana is working as expected for me.

Does that seem correct?
