    Cortana freezes when typing in a search


    I'm having a fun problem on my shiny new Win 10 machine. Cortana freezes when I start to type in the search box.

    Is there

    1) a way to actually fix this? I've looked all over web and I don't see anything definitive
    or
    2) is there a way to replace Cortana? I'm not thrilled with the share my world with Microsoft concept anyway.

    Thanks!

    Donald

    :)

  3. Cortana freezes when typing and when searching up.

    Thank you for the quick answer, Jose , I have done everything that was on that page except reinstalling windows which is my last resort.

    • All up-to-date on my computer
    • I have restarted my computer
    • Troubleshooter found no problem
    • I have tried to renew the administrator account like it said
    • And I used system restore and did the updates again and the problem persisted.
    I have also tried

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    In powershell.

    The problem persists.

    Cortana freezes when typing in a search

    You can disable Cortana. Is the freeze related to network lag? She does require connection to Bing.

  5. Reinstalled Cortana using the following procedure:

    1. Open an elevated PowerShell window, press Win + X keys to open PowerShell.

    2. Execute following commands one at time.

    Code: Get-Process SearchUI | Stop-Process –Force Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}[/quote] 3. Restart your computer.
