    When I ask cortana open desktop app, it instead will do web search on edge.

    Hi Brendan,

    Since you've performed some troubleshooting steps, we suggest to rebuild Cortana on your device. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • Open an elevated Command Prompt by typing cmd in the
      Search
      box, then right-click and select Run as administrator.
    • Type powershell. This will launch the PowerShell as an administrator to execute the command properly.
    • Type the following command in the PowerShell console:

      Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    • Wait for about one minute.
    • Restart you device.

    Let us know if your concern has been resolved.

    When I ask cortana open desktop app, it instead will do web search on edge.

    Sorry, I have not follow your link yet.

    This what I just now find out.

    If I say "Launch" "desktop app name" it will launch the said desktop app correctly.

    But if I say "Open" "desktop app name" it will instead launch Microsoft edge to search on the web.
