  1. Cortana Beta not setting reminders, sending emails, etc. just showing bing search results


    Hi.

    I am using windows 10 pro version 2004.

    the new cortana can't do anything . even when I click on its suggestions it will say : sorry, I can't undrestand that or searchs bing and show me the search results.


    I fully removed windows and installed it again, but cortana just worked correctly for once. after that, it stopped working.

    How can I fix that, Or is it possible to roll back to the previous cortana?


    Thanks a lot.

    :)

    What is the difference between cortana and search?

    Cortana is your digital agent. She'll help you get things done.

    One of the major changes to Windows 10 is the presence of Microsoft’s voice assistant, Cortana. Along with voice searches, you will be given “suggestions” that the voice assistant makes. This includes reminders for scheduled events in your calendar, ideas when you are searching the Web for something, alternatives when you are quizzing Cortana for information, and more.
    Here are some things Cortana can do for you:

    • Give you reminders based on time, places, or people.
    • Track packages, teams, interests, and flights.
    • Send emails and texts.
    • Manage your calendar and keep you up to date.
    • Create and manage lists.
    • Chit chat and play games.
    • Find facts, files, places, and info.
    • Open any app on your system.

    How to send an email using Cortana?

    I'm on 1809. It will open Outlook but any other attempt to send an email just results in a web search. It should work as post 2 but it doesn't.

    Cortana Not Setting Reminders

    Hey guys!

    So, I updated to Windows 10 several months ago. I upgraded and loved the new Cortana feature, taking great pride in the fact that I could speak to my machine to set a reminder. It was great! Until, interestingly enough, it stopped. There was nothing that
    changed to prompt such a change and now Cortana won't do anything other than simply searching Bing for "Remind me on Friday at 11:00 am about my call". I figured that it was perhaps some issues with my Logitech G930 headset, something that I was having some
    now resolved issues with prior so I tried doing it with text after unplugging my headset and a reboot. Same thing. Audio commands to set reminders won't work aside from searching Bing, and text does the same thing. It starts to, even saying "Set a reminder"
    with the lightbulb, however sending me to Bing shortly thereafter.

    In short, I haven't an idea in the slightest on what it could be. Hope you guys can help me with this! Cortana's other functions work just fine, by the way; even the movie quiz.
