I have been a Windows Insider since very early in the program and am currently on build 17101. My installed Windows seems to have picked up a number of problems that I cannot get fixed: 1. Windows Mail is broken and I have tried various fixes provided by MS experts and it stays broken. 2...

Article link: How to get Cortana to perform custom tasks on Windows 10

Hi This is so funny that I had to post it. I have 3 Amazon Echo Dots or Alexas, (a stand alone version of Cortana on steroids) spread around the house, one on each floor. Just to test how Cortana was working after reading a post here about Cortana not hearing them when they speak, I asked...

I don't know what happened, but Cortana no longer responds. Neither does clicking on the search box. I haven't made any tweaks to the computer, so it just happened on its own. I think she's been down several days now. What gives?

Hi Cortana got over her snit and started talking again but you don't want to trust her to far. I asked "Cortana will I need an umbrella tomorrow?" She replied "No you shouldn't need one." I looked at the weather forecast displayed in her window, and it said... Tomorrow, 39 degrees, Cloudy...

Hi I was curious about Cortana, I have an iPad so I'm used to Siri, which I use occasionally. I like to ask her if she's serious. LOL But Cortana looks like it will be more sophisticated then what I've been able to get Siri to do. I searched and did find that the Cortana files are already...

Personally, I'm now more of a stay-at-home type person so have no need for a smart phone. However, there are those who think the American Express slogan, "Don't Leave Home Without It", applies to their iPhone or other smart phone, not the credit card. There is a security issue users of the...
