    . After seeing Xbox advertising works with Alexa on my screen, I was gifted a Harmon Kardon Invoke speaker with Cortana, and I bought one.


    With the Xbox off, if I say "Hey, Cortana turn on the Xbox." I get a varied and sundry list of "OK." then, "I'm still working on it." and then finally , "I cant do that right now, try again later." However, if the Xbox is on I can ask Cortana to do anything on the Xbox. FYI: Playing Halo whilst this speaker has it's Microphone on can cause interesting conversations.


    I have pestered MSFT Xbox help and Adrian is a nice guy, but he didn't have a clue what an Invoke speaker with Cortana was. He had to look it up on the US Microsoft Store to find it. We went back and forth, had a nice chat over the phone. FYI having this speaker's mic on whilst saying "Cortana" every minute or two can be quite maddening.


    I have even went so far as to look up Cortana on Twitter. Alas anyone that worked on or with Cortana on Twitter has seemed to move on to Surface. Not Surface Phone mind you, just the Surface. Which Cortana will turn on my Xbox from.


    Anyone out there have any ideas on how to get Cortana in the speaker to work with Cortana on the Xbox via the network? Or something.


    Please, Harmon Kardon did not make the AI for the speaker it made the speaker, and put the AI in it as supplied by MSFT.

    Xbox 360 cracked

    Even though the hack is very complex, and should not be done by you and me, but the crack will let you play back-ups of your Xbox 1 and Xbox 360 games, and will boot all normal xbox games, yes all, not just the onces on the compatibilty list. So we are one step closer.

      down completely.

    • Plug the console power cable back in.

    • Press the Xbox button on your console to turn on the Xbox One.  



    Method 2. Clear the storage cache on the console.

    Here are the steps: 


    • Press the menu key on the controller.  

    • Go to Settings, and then select Disc & Blu-Ray.  

    • In the Blu-Ray section select Persistent Storage.  

    • Select Clear persistent storage.



    Method 3. Clear Mac address.


    • Here are the steps: 

    • Scroll left on the Home screen to open the guide.  

    • Select Settings.  

    • Select All Settings.  

    • Select Network.  

    • Select Network settings.  

    • Select Advance settings.  

    • Select Alternate MAC address.  

    • Select Clear.

    If you are still experiencing the same issue after following the given steps above, we recommend that you remove and add your profile back on Xbox One to refresh it. You can follow the steps on this
