    Cortana and settings options disappeared


    Welcome to Ten Forums ChemicalRage Cortana disappears before I can ask a question :)

    .

    Does a new user account fix the problem? We can then identify if it's just the account or the whole computer feature of Cortana.

    Have you been able to use Cortana before and have you experienced any problems with it then?
    What about trying a system restore?

    Also this could be of some use to you: Cortana Search Box Windows 10
    I would particually suggest step 3 and see if the problem still remains with a new user account.
