Windows 10: Can anyone get Cortana to talk ?

i installed Windows 10 Pro on 4 PCS running windows 8.1 pro. All of them have sound working, but Cortana does not say a darn thing. I have no microphone hooked up but I thought she still answers when you type something? Yes or NO. In the Preview 10 I got her to answer on one of the earlier builds but that only one, the newer builds she did not talk at all.

I installed it on 3 laptops. One does not have touch, the other 2 has but sound works on all 3.

On the surface pro 3 cortana is a bit flacky, she talks when in the mood.

On my laptop with no touch she does not talk at all, tells me there is a problem with a the sound but music plays fine on the laptop.

On my other one that has touch, it is a dell inspiron, same problem she does not talk at all and sound is fine.

I really do not care about the desktops not talking but i use 2 of these laptops to show off windows 10 at seminars so I really would like Cortana to talk

Anyone else seeing this problem and what to do to fix it?

Cortana problems

when I use Cortana I keep getting "Sorry, the internet and I aren't talking right now." the internet is running fine . can anyone help with this problem?

 

The 'Learn how I say "Hey Cortana"' button does not work.

Hi Dominik,

This might occur if there is an issue with your Microsoft account or a misconfiguration in Cortana settings. In this case, we suggest that you first try to reconfigure Cortana again by following these steps:

1. On the Taskbar, in the Search
window, type Cortana.

2. In the results click Cortana & Search Settings (in System Settings).

3. Verify that the following options are enabled:

• Let Cortana respond to “Hey Cortana” to talk to Cortana.
• Respond when anyone says “Hey Cortana” to let anyone talk to Cortana.
• If desired, Use Cortana when my device is locked.

4. Under Microphone and Make sure Cortana can hear me, click Get Started.

5. Work through the wizard to set up the microphone.

Let us know how it goes.
