I was hoping somebody could help me solve this. Ever since the new version of Windows 10 Thursday Cortana isn't working.
I've run the Start Menu Troubleshooter>Advanced>Automatically Fix Errors and as the screenshot shows, it didn't fix it.

Open an elevated powershell window and try and re-install both applications

Cortana
Code:
Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml" -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode

Shell Experience Host
Code:
Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Windows\SystemApps\ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml" -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode
 
Could you post the whole command for both that I would use. I'm new to using PowerShell.
 
OK. They aren't working then as my above screenshot shows. Cortana worked until Microsoft updated 10 to a new version on Thursday, so there's obviously a bug in it.
 
Then you may have some corruption. You may want to try some of the repair commands. sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
 
I ran sfc /scannow Friday in Safe Mode. It didn't find any errors. I'll try the dism command now.
