    Closing Cortana with a voice command


    Hi! I would like to ask someone more informed than me, or members of the insider program, if there are plans or rumors about adding this feature to Cortana: ability to close her with a voice command. Something like "Thank you" or "See ya" would be very nice and useful!!! *Cool

    :)

    Cortana (and screen) does not turn off when Bluetooth headset dismisses her

    I've made an entry asking that Cortana closes if entered by voice, and the command is cancelled.

    When you cancel a voice command, Cortana should close

  3. Close down full screen Cortana with a voice command?

    So saying "hey Cortana..." and then using voice commands to set a reminder etc is great. But it is opening a full screen window when it does it. And I can't figure out how to close that window with a voice command? I have to physically sit in front of
    my laptop and hit X to close the window. It is very annoying and surely the window should either timeout and close, or there should be a "Cortana go home" type command like there is on Xbox One? Thanks

    Closing Cortana with a voice command

    The correct phrase would be: "Hey Cortana, close Cortana"

    Alternatively, you could say "Hey Cortana...", if she listens but doesn't receive a command within a few seconds, she will close automatically.

    Or, you can press the Windows Key rapidly twice.

    Edwin, thank you for the suggestion of double pressing the Windows key, I will use this because is more practical than reach the "X" button. I hope Microsoft will add a proper command for closing Cortana after she has completed a task.
