Windows 10: Cortana is not working , it happened way before after my windows updated to 1709 , still...

so basically Cortana is not working anymore if I click on the mic either one of those two options will happen:

1.it will say "click here to make sure Cortana can hear you" so I do so and then the troubleshooter detects that my mic is set up so then I set it up, come back to Cortana and it will say the same thing and then I will keep repeating the whole prosses and still same problem

2.sometimes it just freezes then I can't use the search bar for like 40 seconds after

this problem is really weird and I want a solution because I like using assistance on my devices since they help a lot

specs :

windows 10 64 bit

intel i5 5500u 2.2ghz 4 cores

HDD 1tb

Geforce 920m

4gb ram ddr3

the problem started showing after the update "1709" and I still haven't found a fix for it, if u need any more info just reply to this,

all help is appreciated


p.s i tried using sfc/scannow and the all the scan things (i don't know what to call them they just are in cmd/Powershell) and none of them worked


thanks

Thank you for trying to help , i did tried your suggestion but it did not work :/ , nothing seems to make it work on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709. In the meantime i have bought a new SoundBlasterX AE-5 and it did installed flawlessly , no problems whatsoever. it is up to Creative ( drivers ) and Microsoft ( bug fix ) to fix this huge bugs with Audio.

Kind Regards: Chispy

That's completely distaster when Windows start to update drivers. You have option to disable Driver updates in Windows 10 newer updates.
Nice because I saw this, now I will not update on 1709 I don't want mess with SBZxR.
I can't look for solution for their halucinations and decisions to Windows install what you want.

 

Any working way to remove Cortana?


Is there a way to do that without downloading the reg file? (Can I do that myself?)
Also, will that stop the Cortana background process?
Because I already disabled Cortana itself alone, what you're suggesting is additional. or just another way to disable Cortana but leaving it working in the background?*Huh
