    Cortana Listening Mode not working after Anniversary Update


    So I recently got the anniversary update and notice that now Win-C no longer opens Cortana in listening mode. Does anyone else notice this? Is there a way to get it back?

    Thanks!

    :)

    CORTANA IN LISTEN MODE

    I upgraded to Win 10 Professional (8/1015), and Cortana does not work in "listen" mode. Additionally my system hung and I had to reboot shortly after turning on the listen mode. Not totally sure it was Cortana but noted very slow response from other apps
    with "listen" turn on. Turning on the above Gpedit.msc keeps things running well, but "listen" mode still does not work.

    Excellent! Thanks for the quickly reply. I wonder why they added the Shift key to the sequence?

    Good to hear that worked for you *Smile

    I think i read somewhere that it stops people accidentally turning this on, i prefered the old 2 key method to using 3 keys

    I had to create an account just to thank you. I can't believe Microsoft tech wasted 2.5 hrs of our time in trying to fix this when it's simply just a matter of change in keyboard shortcuts *Rolleyes thank you again!! *Smile
