  1. Can an update affect on Cortana not to work ?


    I had 2017 windows 10 version and I updated it to 20H2 last month. But after the update my Cortana doesn't work anymore. I did everything except reset my pc. But after the update my pc was so faster and I loved , But unfortunately only My loved Cortana doesn't work.. Is there anything like code command or anything to look into this matter ? I must say that I was consulted a microsoft online agent and he did everything such as reinstalling it, resetting cortana etc. But useless. What can i do except loosing my windows latest one and others ?

    :)
