Yes I do. It just wont let me go to the settings and freezes up!Do you have location services running? It will be under settings Win Key + i > Privacy
I did set up my microphone in the windows 10 settings separately but I cant do anything with Cortana. like I said whenever I clikc settings it freezes. and I am signed in with a Microsoft accountYou are signed in and verified with a Microsoft account? I never told it a name, but typed one in.
Did it ask you for permission to access your system, probably never got that far. Did it ever set up your microphone?
My account is verified with Microsoft. the issue is just Cortana freezes when I try to go to settings and I cant use the search for another 5-10 minutes. I've tried ending the process and I get the same result.. :/OK, no Verify option on your account page... got it.
I am getting ready to set up Cortana on this new install so I will follow you process to see what happens. Just a note, there have been problems with audio drivers in some of the Windows 10 installs. But I suppose clicking and typing in a question also does not work.
For now, you might try opening Task Manager and looking at the Processes tab. Find Cortana and right click and select "End Task". It will restart, if it doesn't just reboot, or just reboot in the first place.
Edit: I could not tell it a name, I had to type it.
But its not that it doesn't hear me its that its not set up yet. And that whenever I try to set it up it freezes and crashes.Cortana had a hard time hearing me. I had not noticed but a separate window had opened to set up the microphone. It was hard to see, but did show on the Task Bar.
Otherwise, things are fairly normal.
I don't have any software and as I said I have rebooted and tried making even a new account with no programs openThe best advice I can give right now is to reboot.
Do you have any other software related to voice activation or search? Is Edge closed while you are setting up Cortana? Did you ever see the voice training window with the yellow, red and green levels you are supposed to read?
Its not a hearing problem I cant set it up in the first place! It freezes when I go to settings and when I make a new user account it wont let me go past it asking for my name :/Cortana is quite deaf, if you have any way to increase your mic volume do so.
Makes me think all the privacy concerns over cortana are unwarranted, I could probably yell "I want to blow up Bill Gates!" as loud as I can and the stupid thing wont hear me
