Windows 10: Cortana Help - how to go to open programs

I have just been playing with Cortana commands and I can open programs fine, like word and excel, but I would like to be able to go directly to an open program - one that is already open by saying go to word, but this just opens another word window. Is this possible?

Cheers,
John.

Cortana won't open programs

Hi,

There's a possibility that a software conflict occurs when trying to open a program using Cortana. Since you've already tried the solutions above, we recommend that you reinstall Cortana as an additional troubleshooting. To do this follow the steps below:

• Open an elevated Command Prompt window by typing cmd in the search bar, then right-click and choose
  Run as administrator.
• Type start powershell, then press Enter.
• Run this command, then press Enter: Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
• Restart your computer.

Let us know if your concern has been resolved.
