Windows 10: Cortana cannot access the system and the application settings restricted to BING search...

hello Microsoft,


I am a user of Windows 10 Insider and build is vb_release 19041.

recently post the 2004 version update, the Cortana is unable to open the applications nor does it open system settings.


with the version {vb_release 19041}. Cortana is unable to access the system and the application settings.

Example - Open WORD, Open system settings



while setting up the device after a fresh installation of Windows 10 HOME the first error we receive is that Cortana is not available in the United Kingdom.

Later after installing the pending updates and all the optional updates the Cortana is restricted to use only the Bing search results


Kindly fix this for the insider as we have noticed quite a few examples with non insiders as well on the Microsoft Store reviews for Cortana. this is more specific to the United Kingdom currently.

:)

 

Manage search & Bing settings

I don't believe those settings will do anything unless your signed into Bing and Cortana is on.
All that does is open Bing settings so there's the catch pushing you to be signed in

Funny you don't show all of the wonderful suggested sites above Bing image of the day *Tongue
Right now unless signed in it's a search box you can not control the extra content in = bites.

 

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.

bing search page

Hello, gaztaylor5667. Once
Cortana is enabled on your Lumia Windows Phone, the search key will be assigned as her shortcut key. If you aren't using Cortana, you'll go to Bing Search. 's suggestion is the easiest way to access Bing Vision while
Cortana is turned on.



Being able to easily access Bing Vision while Cortana is on would be a superb experience. We suggest that you send this as a feature suggestion at
windowsphone.uservoice.com. This is the right channel to submit feedback and suggestions to help improve your Lumia experience.



Hope this information helps. :cathappy:
